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 have the Joe and Beth Krush illustrations in the Gone-Away Lake books.

You're right, I think they are different, I'll have to check my copies.

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

I read the sample chapters of The Chocolatier's Wife and I do like it very much so far, so I bought it (still at $.99 today). Thanks for the rec, Connie.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

So, anyone read Scalzi's "Old Man's War?" I'm having a really bad kidney pain day, and am thinking of indulging and buying a new book to read. Thoughts?

Thanks for the rec, Connie.

I should find a way to contact her and congratulate her for getting it out to a wider audience.

The page won't load right on the 100-year-old browser at work, but near as I can tell this is her contact page:

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

Strix, I read it, and it's great fun, and light enough for a sick day read.

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

I love that series, Strix.
