Holy crap, Code Name Verity
Yeah, pretty much. Speaking of which, this is a lovely book trailer someone made for it. Or vid. I don't actually agree with Maddie's casting, but it's lovely anyway.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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."

Ooh, interesting trailer!
I still have the new one on my kindle and haven't brought myself to read it yet.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Isn't it wonderful? In a highly painful way?
So much this.

Does anyone here do reddit/fantasy? Cooking the Books has a site of the week AMA (they're trying to start a new thing) and I'm fidgety-nerves. On the plus side, the interviews match up with a fair number of r/fantasy popular authors, so hopefully it will go ok.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I hope it goes really well!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Wow, speaking of agonizingly good, I just finished _Wintergirls_. And I hadn't read the description since putting it on hold at the library months before so I'd totally forgotten the subject matter and how painful it might be even for someone without a first person eating disorder experience. Even worse tho, at the end of the audio book the author read a poem based on _Speak_. I'm still sobbing.
