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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dammit. I have not finished Allegiant yet.

Having finished it, I'm on the fence about it, both content-wise and stylistically.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I plan to read it this weekend.

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

I went to her reading last night, and she's got some pretty awesome news to share.

Hope you guys enjoy Parasite ! It's been getting great reviews. I hope it sells really well.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I just got Insurgent from the library and accidentally read it all in one night.

And now my library doesn't have Allegiant, damnit.

I still maintain that the third book should have been called Resurgent.

I started to read Allegiant and then realized I didn't remember at all what had happened in Insurgent, so I need to re-read that first.

Apparently Eleanor and Park, and Fangirl, are both on sale for $1.50 each. I highly recommend, especially at that price!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This post has been brought to you by § ita § toots her friends' horns:

I haven't read My Date From Hell yet (I'm fucking remiss because I haven't read the first book in the trilogy, My Ex From Hell either, but at least I own it), but it's an ebook written by a friend whose writing I've liked a lot in the past. It's YA with an ancient Greek mythology flavour. It's on sale for 99¢, and if you do read it, I'll be curious to hear what you think.

Signed,
Still Waiting For The Nook Book.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Shouldn't "My date from hell" precede "My ex from hell" ?

Tep,

I am glad you said this. I'm about halfway through, and I'm side-eyeing the book right now.
