'The Train Job'
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."
I just realized today that John Green is not the same person as John Scalzi
HA!! No, they are very different people. John Scalzi, for instance, is incredibly conscious of his privilege and does everything he can to redirect conversations when people hold him up as Popular Science Fiction Author (who just happens to be a straight white male, hm, why are we talking about him all the time).
I am amused that the same actor plays Shailene Woodley's less-than-endearing brother in Divergent and cancer boyfriend in The Fault in Our Stars. That's got to be weird.
That said, I have ZERO desire to see the Teen Cancer Movie Where At Least One Character is Obviously Going To Die. NOPE.
Yup! Character death is on my list of things I don't have to watch in movies if I don't want to, because I am an adult. Also includes wars (especially WWII), Nazis, former Nazis, dying parents, parents with dementia, and bleak stories of drug addiction.
Yeah, no thank you!
I'm actually pretty excited to see the movie. And I certainly love his books. But I also love Rainbow Rowell's books and she has a new one in July. So.
I actually love The Fault in Our Stars so well I'm not sure I want to see the movie. My memory of the book is so perfect, you know? But I'm sure I'll see it eventually.

I found out the other day that the trainer I work with also works with Laurell K. Hamilton. Oh, the poker face I had to put on when he asked if I knew about/liked her books...
Ooh, she's a wacky one, too! I've heard very colorful stories.

Extremely weird!! And while I liked the book, I didn't think it was All That!

Oooh. I...liked some of her early books? And then quit reading them because damn. Woman seems to have issues.
But I also love Rainbow Rowell's books and she has a new one in July. So.
Exciting! I did not know this.
I still have to read Fangirl, but I adored Eleanor and Park.
