Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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 kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I read this for one of my first book salons (theme=Books and the Bookish), along with The Reader (also WWII-themed, but certainly not endearing). Obviously, it was quite fun to be reading about a book salon for my book salon. I don't remember much about it beyond that it was a sweet book, with a sweet publication back story.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I know I'm late to the party, but I finally read Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire last night.

Both were engrossing, but CNV was astoninshingly, utterly engrosseningly good.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I just started Rose Under Fire! All the callbacks to CNV are making me tear up.

My computer glitched at 2:30 am, RIGHT in the middle of...the scene towards the end of the book that makes you cry. And I flipped the fuck out, and had to continue reading in tiny 2.3 point font on my phone while the laptop rebooted (which takes 10 minutes, truly.)

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

Aims,

I am not sure the book is worth processing. It is a shame b/c the 1st book had some ideas worth thinking through. All that gone.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Yup, wrong thread

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think this may be in the wrong thread.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My copy of My Life in Middlemarch came in today! I'm really hoping it's a good book.
