Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I accidentally vaguely spoiled myself for that right at the start, and it was interesting to identify the lead-up, but I did not predict the circumstances of how it would go down. How awful.

I've started The Night Circus and I'm already into it. Even though it's the damn title of the book, I still had a WTF reaction to the fact that it's, well, a night circus. IT'S ONLY OPEN AT NIGHT.

This opening stuff with Prospero is giving me a Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell vibe.

Jim Dale is great because Alexander sounds like Dumbledore and Prospero sounds kind of like Hagrid.

I like that I have no fucking idea what this book is actually about.

Art Crawl!!!

Check it: Just for the Weekend - a romance where the couple meets at a Star Trek convention.

I haven't read it - but I'm going to.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
