Did she do anything with the less-than-subtle romantic tension that was in the end of the first books?
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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."

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?

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

Always Anti-fascist!
I know! And given that it's a history of how government came to be, the issue comes up a lot.(I thought that was something UKers write like we do...of all the errors.Sometimes the editing is not that great when established books are kindle-ized, but that seems oddly specific. WTF, indeed!)

I suspect that you are right that it is part of Kindleization. Weirdly consistent character substitutions do happen.

Hah! I've been following her for a while, actually: I really like her posts over at Tor, especially when she was doing the massive rereads of women writers.
I respect that Judith Tarr is doing the reread of Melanie Rawn, but I rather wish someone would take on, say, some early Cherryh (The Morgaine Saga?) or LeGuin or Jonathan Strange. I loved Kate Nepveu's reread of LotR, and I'm kind of annoyed at all the acreage devoted to the books of the Malazan (forsooth).

Oh man a LeGuin re-read or Jonathan Strange would be amazing. Ditto the Cherryh. Say something and aim it at tor.com? or post on one of the open threads?
