'Objects In Space'
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 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.
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.

You look stunning, Smonster.

That's Seanan! I'm always impressed by how articulate she is in her public appearances. Some of it is having answered the same questions a million times ("Why did you use a pseudonym?" oh my God a three-second Google will tell you the answer) but some of it is magic. I still remember her glorious takedown of an Old White Guy who didn't think it was necessary to make an effort to include female authors in anthologies, just go by the quality of the work.
Haha, she got million-and-one on the pseud question! Although I did find the answer interesting (and had never thought to Google), so you know, there's that...

That does sound like something that would be brilliant to see.
Sad I can't see smonster from work computer (FB blocked). Marked for later...
Shouldn't "My date from hell" precede "My ex from hell" ?
Well, when you've read the books, you'll know why, right?
That does sound like something that would be brilliant to see.
I wish there had been a video. It would be all over Upworthy. "Watch This Woman Explain Something about Women in Science Fiction I've Been Trying to Say for 37 Years."
Thanks, Hec.
I will have to google the pseud question, as I have wondered.
I need to check and see if there's a Seattle stop on her book tour.
