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."

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.)

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

Now you've made it.

I just saw an ad for Robin Hobb's new series The Fitz and The Fool. I don't remember, was it declared if the Fool was a man or a woman? I know the Fool appeared as both.

The status is NOT quo.

I just read it, Connie! The Fool is a man, though he has masqueraded as a woman. It was a great read.

I adore Robin Hobb.

Did she do anything with the less-than-subtle romantic tension that was in the end of the first books?

Hey. New board.

I was able to get some more Skulduggery Pleasant ebooks (more) legally by tricking Kobobooks.ca into thinking I was Canadian and paying with Paypal. A pain, but at least the publishers and authors got their due.

And now I have reading to do!

The status is NOT quo.

Connie, she established that it was never sexual, but intimate on more of a soul level.

So yes and no. It’s really not about the two of them for most of the book.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm reading this book on women's history, which is very good so far, but there is also something sort of weird about the copy-editing: it never puts an e in taxes. Is that a thing somewhere and I didn't know?

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

Uh...no. It's a wrong thing. WTF?
