You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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."

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.)
