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."

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.

Thanks, WindSparrow!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Amy, I'm in the middle of Rose Under Fire right now too, and your hope is mine. I don't think I could bear it if that doesn't happen.

Art Crawl!!!
Hmm, would really like to read Rose Under Fire.
Does anyone have a kindle copy that they could lend me?
Amy - Feb 14, 2014 8:02:28 am PST #22060 of 28352
Because books.
I had to put it down last night, Kate, and go back to The Raven Boys, because I was in tears and I just couldn't hack it. I do love Rose, though.
sumi, I had Code Name Verity on Kindle, but I lent it to my mom and I think you can only lend it once, and I have a hard copy of Rose Under Fire.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I thought Consuela, particularly, would enjoy the essay at the bottom of this page.

Thanks for the heads-up, Beverly, I'll take a look.
I'm on vacation in Colorado, so mostly online, but I sadly came across some of the discussion about what's going on in SF writerdom right now. What a clusterfuck. Especially when I see writers I really like saying things that make me sad.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There was a video of a couple of people at the side of some train tracks and, as a train with an open car goes by, a woman jumps for the car. She misses and falls to the track, but lies someplace safe and gets up all right.
Anyway, all I could think was that she'd read "Divergent".
