Raise your hand if 'ew.'

Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'


Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

she has ANOTHER fucking new book?

She has five books—not to mention various short stories and novellas in magazines/anthologies—out this year:

Midnight Blue-Light Special, Book #2 in InCryptid
Indexing, the Kindle serial
Velveteen vs. the Multiverse, Book #2 in the Velveteen vs. series
Chimes at Midnight, Book #7 in October Daye
Parasite, Book #1 in Forced Evolutions

She also has a day job.

She's going to be at my favorite bookstore on Halloween - if I say, "I'm a friend of Polter-Cow," will I get extra credit?

Yes! I mean, I don't know what kind of credit you're looking for, but it will be extra.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Chimes at Midnight, Book #7 in October Daye

7!?!?

Criminy, I'm behind!

I was just talking about her at my fave bookstore; the 27 different series of books, the music; I must be the biggest, most uncreative slacker in slackerdom next to her - is her day job curing cancer or something?

Yes! I mean, I don't know what kind of credit you're looking for, but it will be extra.

Yay!

It is NOT! It is a crappy job she keeps only for the healthcare.

Because books.

I told her I knew P-C when I saw her at BEA. Which was ... two years ago, I think!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Wait, she's doing all that AND has a day job? I am officially intimidated and in awe.

The new Elizabeth Wein is out [link] and I just found out she's signing here Tuesday.

Oh man. Go!

Indeed!

I have Rose Under Fire on my Kindle waiting for me, but I want to finish something else first. And then I will start it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

So, if I want to check out Gillian Flynn, should I start with Gone Girl?
