I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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."

Best review of Seanan's (well, Mira's) writing listed in P-C's link:
“Horrifying, riveting, and a bit too plausible”

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.

Because books.
I do love John Green's work (well, the two I've read), but I am so tired of him and The Fault in Our Stars right now. The movie PR is bad enough, but if you're in the YA sphere online, no one has talked about anything BUT John Green (and his influence, etc.) for months.
Which is not to be grumpy about the linked article! Just to say I, personally, am sort of Green'd out at the moment.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I just realized today that John Green is not the same person as John Scalzi
