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."

Yeah, not wanting to be Mockingjay'ed

Hah. I feel like ALL the YAs have this "Must be a trilogy!!" thing going on, and it irks. There are some that would be so much better as stand-alones (...though I get that marketing-wise that's not as worth it), or at most with a sequel.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I would totally see the movie. I suspect it will translate very well to film.

I just read "where'd you go Bernadette", which I can't decide if I liked. Maybe it was just overhyped. It had some cute very seattle things. But the plot was...odd? Confusing? Something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, you guys weren't kidding about Allegiant. That was terrible.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think I liked the mixture of styles and stuff more than the story, Meara. It was cute, but I do sort of not like that, once you decide you've written a comic novel, you can throw the kitchen sink in too, because it's wacky and it doesn't have to make sense. The best stand-up does.

I think the audiobook be giving me an even more compelling experience than the print version because the readers are so good at bring the characters to life. They feel more like real people since I can hear them and their emotions.
