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."
Just finished Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. It was beautifully done. Not an easy book but it was a great coming out story (if that's your cup of tea) and the language was excellent. Amazingly good. Good enough to dogear pages to find quotes that were excellent.
Now I'm on to Eleanor and Park and so far I am enjoying it.
I have Eleanor and Park, but I grabbed Please Ignore Vera Dietz off my shelf last night on the way out the door, and it's fantastic. A.S. King is blowing me away.
I wrote about Aristotle and Dante in a GLBT roundup of books for teens earlier this year, and it really looked great.
Martha Wells' new Star Wars novel, Razor's Edge, in which Leia is awesome, comes out on Monday. And the publisher has commissioned a truly stunning piece of art work for it.
Pays to be writing in a forty-year-old franchise worth billions, I guess!
I feel like I just cheated on all my other books -- I'm still reading River of No Return and 17&Gone and I picked up Vicious on Friday night (I got a pile of Tor books as a kickstarter reward) and couldn't put it down. Now I'm eyeing the pile, because The Incrementalists is in there, and A Natural History of Dragons, and... augh.
I started Eleanor and Park last night, and it's a lot heavier than I expected, at least from Eleanor's POV. Great, though, but I'll probably finish Vera Dietz first.

I reeeeeally want to read it! It sounds totally up my alley. Probably won't get to it for a while, though.
I liked River of No Return, although it was more romance than I expected. But A Natural History of Dragons was really fun, and I can't wait to see the next ones. I just really like the premise a lot.
I've been wanting to read A Natural History of Dragons for approximately ever.
I am so delighted by my new Galaxy tablet. I was worried about the ereader not being eInk and hard on the eyes, but I've got the screen set to power-saving, so it's not that bright. I found a copy of Night in the Lonesome October, by Roger Zelazny, but I'm waiting till October to have a good wallow in that. Bliss.

Agreed about E&P. Still enjoying it.
