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."

Thanks for that, Jilli. I'd never heard of it and I'm really glad to have read it now.
Nice job on the foreword, too. Those seem tricky and yours is a good one.

Thank you so much! I agonized a bit over it, because it's a book I adore.

Of course, now that I've read the book I need to re-read the foreword. And then re-read the book.
But first...
EEEEEE I have new Skullduggery Pleasant to read! Not the novel, of course, but new-to-me (possibly legit not published before, I'm not sure) short stories. Yay!

Anyone read the new outlander book? I had to re-read the previous one because I couldn't remember most of it. I'm wondering how many more books she's planning--there are several open plot lines.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We're on vacation, and the house we're in has Good Omens on its shelf. I've never read it, so I snagged it. Damn, it is hilarious!

I forgot to order it before we left for vacation. Maybe if I order it now, it'll be waiting for me when we get home.
Tim is reading Last Stand of Dead Men (finally) while we're on vacation. I've been bugging him to read it so that I can share my trauma.
