Seconding Consuela - I loved these books and just about anything Martha writes.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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."

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That was very funny. Until about #14, which was not at all okay. And then it was just sad for a while (until about #20)

Hey. New board.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
My hold just came in at the library, so sometime in the next couple weeks, yes.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Sox, I got it and loved it, even though I didn't love Monette's other work. Didn't want this to end.
Also, yay Ancillary Justice won the Clarke Award!

I want to talk about all the things!
And YES I am so happy for Ann and Ancillary Justice - Just super ridiculous happy. And her tweet was classic/perfect.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yes, I read it when it came out. I thought it was sweet and charming; I quite like Monette's collabortations with Bear, and her short stories, anthologized in "The Skeleton Key," are wonderful.
