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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Having finished it, I'm on the fence about it, both content-wise and stylistically.
Tep,
I am glad you said this. I'm about halfway through, and I'm side-eyeing the book right now.

I finished Allegiant, and am pretty much . . . it was fine, I guess? I feel like Roth didn't do the hard work of addressing some of the questions/consequences she brought up in the first place, and in line with that the stylistic change to this book was a lazy way out.
I'm waiting to hear what my 14 year old niece thought of it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
X-posting from Bitches... here's a teaser selfie of my Night Circus costume. I hope to get a better picture tonight.

Saw Seanan Maguire (technically Mira Grant) last night at my fave bookstore. She was smart and funny and articulate - pretty awesome. I'm hoping I didn't come off as much of a moron as I felt like (a la Chris Farley, "You remember? That time? That time you wrote that book I liked? Remember? That was AWESOME!") PC, I did mention that I was a friend of yours - but I think I made her very confused when I said I'd get a prize...
Anyway, she was altogether fabulous and I was altogether a doofus.
