I JUST finally started reading the whole Amelia Peabody series.
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

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.
Walp, Pix, are you ever in for a treat.

They're a lot of fun! I stopped after the 6th because I was getting a little burned out, but I need to pick them back up again.

I've already burned through the first four. So fun!

I started in the middle because I was browsing at the library and found myself unable to walk past a book entitled "The Last Camel Died At Noon". I wasn't wrong. Then I went back to the beginning. There are some of the later books I haven't read yet.

Diminishing returns in the later books, from what I've heard. Though I haven't read them myself it did sound like the series exhausted itself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just kind of lost interest in that series, eventually, but I don't know whether that was me or them, really.

That makes me feel better.
Unrelatedly, my dear -t, you do know the last Skulduggery Pleasant book is out at the end of August, right? And its title is "The Dying of the Light."
OH GOD MY HEART. I'm still not over "Last Stand of Dead Men." It's the only Skulduggery book that I haven't yet re-read.

Thank you, I did not! I was just thinking I needed to check on that. Better get my pre-order taken care of soon...
I am afraid of what might happen in that book but I CANNOT WAIT to find out.

I'm not sure he can stomp on my heart more than he already has. And yet, I feel sure that he will.
(We included a Skulduggery Pleasant quote in our wedding vows -- seriously -- and I can't decide if sending Derek Landy a note to tell him that would be cool or CREEPY AS SHIT.)
