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.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Because books.
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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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!
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...
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.

Fangirl was sweet. And it reminded me of what college was like. Except for me not writing Harry Potter fanfic. (Or knowing what fanfic was.)
