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."

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

Because books.
That looks interesting, sj.
I'm reading both The Raven Boys and Rose Under Fire -- when The Raven Boys drags a little bit (it's way slower paced than The Scorpio Races) I pick up Rose Under Fire, but I think when I'm done with it, I have to lay off WWII for a while. I'm already kind of dreading what's going to happen to Rose. My one hope is that Maddie and Jamie have a happy ending -- if they don't, don't tell me.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Did we know about this? [link] A website that lets you know about free and discounted ebooks?
