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."

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

I believe you will maintain that feeling throughout.

Because books.

I believe you. I can't put it down, and I'm only a quarter of the way through it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Has anyone read Mira Grant's Parasite? Wondering what people think?

Here's my review. It's no Feed, but I liked it, though more for its potential for really awesome stories in the coming book(s). Lots of creepiness in this one, however.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

P-C,

Oh, nice review! So I kind of felt like the book was a bit too slow going and there was a WHOLE lot of exposition. I kind of feel like the revelation(s) at the dead end of the book had come sooner - like half to 2/3rds of the way through so a few more implications of the revelation could be teased out. I am pretty sure I know what happened, but I guess I will need this spelled out next book.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I enjoyed reading it, then found myself profoundly disappointed after. The ending reveal was only a shocker to the character, not to the reader, and it's just....a prologue. I'm waiting for the actual book to start.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oops.

How involved a process is it to put Kobo books on Kindle? Kobo is having a really good sale, but I can't find a clear explanation of what sort of wrangling I'd have to do to get the books onto the Kindle.
