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!
Tell me more good stuff about me.

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."

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.

Because books.
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.

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

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.

Amy, I just finished it. The ending is no less heavy than the rest. Whoa. I can't wait to share this book.
The book was challenged at a district in Minnesota and some group of parents are trying to get the librarians who recommended the book disciplined. [link] I think it's an amazing book. So fuck the haters, is what I say.

Because books.
Vera Dietz is threatening to break me, so maybe I'll take a break and ... switch to something else that will break me!
