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."

Because books.
Those were Bertrice Small books, right? I think she was the first person I ever read who used terms like "love grotto" unironically.
I met her, too. She was a Kensington author for years and years, and she was charming. She always showed up with her husband, who was this older-than-her, hunched-over man. He was also sweet.

Huh. Interesting is right.
... I should not look at the Kindle Words thing to see if publishing Addams Family fic would be legit there, should I? Not while I need to work on the 2nd draft of the novel, right?

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re romance: I recently discovered Courtney Milan (thanks to an e-reader!) and enjoyed the Brothers Sinister novels and associated shorter fictions a lot.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I finished Shades of Milk and Honey (which Tim has persisted in calling "50 Shades of Milk and Honey") today, and while it turned out more or less the way it was obviously going to turn out, it was really charming. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
But first I need to finish Half-Off Ragnarok and the Veronica Mars novel.

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

Yep, that was basically my reaction. I wasn't too compelled to pick up the next one, but I'm glad I decided to give it a shot because they're way more interesting when they're not following that familiar mold.
But first I need to finish Half-Off Ragnarok and the Veronica Mars novel.
Those are good things to do.
