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

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
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.
