Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

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."

Three sent to your profile addy. You just click on the attachments and save them and they'll play on anything that runs an MP3.
Meant to reply sooner, but I'm behind on my profile address. I got two emails (they ended up in my junk folder & it took me a while to parse the sender name). Does on of them have two recordings? Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but thanks a lot!

Because books.
The plagiarism was, obviously, a huge betrayal, but early on she really did pioneer the romance genre for American women.

Aliette de Bodard, Ann Leckie, Fran Wilde, Elizabeth Bear, Benjanun Sriduangkaew, and Rochita Loenen-Ruiz. A roundtable to talk about Food of the Future after a roaring discussion on Twitter last December. The resulting discussion was filled with give-and-take, and everyone posed excellent questions. They topped it off with a speed-round: Describe the Future of Food in 10 Words Or Less.
And it went live at Tor.com this morning.
