Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

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!

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!

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If y'all don't already know, the current Humble eBook Bundle is all sci-fi right now - [link]

not your mom's socks.

I love that humble bundle.

Weightless Books is dropping the latest issue of Beneath Ceaseless Skies early - I'm completely biased, but I like this issue very much. The stories will be online, free, later this month. [link]

If you're a fan of Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence, I'm interviewing him today for the Cooking the Books podcast (shiny new logo is by Raq!)... if you want to email me questions, profile addy is good.

DH is still reading The Goblin Emperor and loving it. He reads slow.

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

EEEEEE!!!! I just read these recently and adored them. I'm probably too late to contribute a question, but if I'm not, Sox, do please tell him that he's got at least 1 fan in St. Louis who is very much looking forward to reading Full Fathom Five.

I'm editing it now to post by noon - but you can tell him in the comments, if you want. I'll make sure he sees it.

If anyone has fond memories of The Dragon Prince back in the day, Judith Tarr is doing a reread of the trilogy by Melanie Rawn over at Tor.com.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A conversation on Facebook sent me to Abe Books to buy Elizabeth Enright's Melendy books and the Gone-Away Lake books. Here's hoping the childhood magic won't be ruined. I tried to find affordable editions close to the date I read them, hoping they haven't been "updated".

I just read The Saturdays to my kids, a modern paperback edition, and I would be very surprised if it had been updated at all. It definitely read "book written in 1940s."

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

Just started Shades of Milk and Honey, based on recs here. So far, so awesome!
