Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

Because books.

I've had Wintergirls on my shelf for two years now and still need to read it. Maybe I'll bump it up.

I went back to The Light Between Oceans which I'm liking more now, and also started Paper Towns, because it belongs to Ben's friend and she wants it back eventually. I'm a little surprised -- I'm not very far in yet, but Margo is striking me as a manic pixie dream girl with a bad attitude, and I'm not sure I like her.
