I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Tep, not sure if you missed it, but can you e-mail me your address so I can send you your signed copy of Shades ? If I can find packing materials. Sorry it's taken so long!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, thanks for reminding me! I saw your email (without opening it) when I was getting ready to go out the door or something, and then my brain fell out.

Will do presently.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Jesse, I may have to look those up. I was … unimpressed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't care much about this last one, but I don't know how much I've actually enjoyed the last....five? Although I'm 100% on board with the romantic resolution, if not 100% with how it was handled.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Going back into the thread to see what you guys said before.

Epic, DH is reading it now and he's all "STATECRAFT" and So many names. He's loving it.

Totally! It was so not what I was expecting from the blurb but it was a great surprise how GOOD he was at the job so quickly! And the story's just so INTERESTING. Though the names were at times a bit much - so much flipping back to the notes in the back! And I agreed with what both of you said you'd have liked to see more of, with the addition - I'd love to watch as his relationship with the kids continues to grow. He finally got a family! But he's accidentally sort of the patriarch! But he and Idra were bonding! And the girls just adored him! Good stuff!

The Delicate Dependency by Michael Talbot, one of my favorite vampire novels ever, has just been republished by Valancourt Books: [link]

Oh, and a certain gothy type with goals of becoming Vampire Witch Queen wrote the foreword for the new edition.
