I wasn't fond of the Dresdens I read, though I was very very fond of the series, for three reasons: Terrence Mann, Paul Blackthorne, and Harry's storefront loft. Green Card is a favorite movie of mine, because of the apartment. The Dresden tv series was a favorite for the same reason. Plus, you know, Terrence Mann.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
and it's going to destroy all my emotions isn't it.
Yes, it is. So good.
I'm kind of surprised I haven't heard that it's been optioned yet. OTOH it would be hella hard to adapt.

Yes, it's a great book, and you are going to be a sobbing mess.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yes, you will flail and gibbber and drool with envy at the writing.
Have fun!

I'm doing the audiobook so I get to hear the Scottish! I already love the narrative voice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Very cool! I was already excited when I realized that was from my local. (Edit: Which I did NOT realize from the byline, because I am a skimmy skimmer who skims.)
