No, HIV comes up later in the series.
This must be what going mad feels like.

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I think I just read the first one, maybe two.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Best review of Seanan's (well, Mira's) writing listed in P-C's link:
“Horrifying, riveting, and a bit too plausible”

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ION: I was just glancing at the selection for this year's "One Book, One San Diego" program ("a community reading program that aims to bring San Diego County residents closer together through reading and discussing one book"). Previous titles hadn't really caught my attention, but I thought this year's sounded interesting, then I glance at the author's name and it's a guy I went to high school with. Not just went to the same school, we were in a play together and everything! Though we lost touch so in my head he's still a freshman - now he's a published freshman!
Guess I'll have to participate this year!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I really loved that piece though it made me think he's never going to get a new novel out with that kind of schedule.
Seriously, that's very counter-productive to a writer's job.
But I am chuffed that three Kenyon authors are on the NYT (various) best seller lists.
John Green, Ransom Riggs and Laura Hillenbrand.
