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."

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!

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

is her day job curing cancer or something?

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.

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?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Strix, I think Gone Girl is her best book plot wise, but I also really enjoyed her other two books. I read them in the reverse order that she wrote them in.
