Yes, you do. Or you're just going to be stalking eBay after the fact.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is there an edition that includes Rice's flamewars with Amazon.com reviewers?

Matt, that would be an amazing edition.
You are all right, I would regret not getting it. Bookshop called, order placed, amazon order cancelled. Vampire fangirl status: ridiculous.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You're supporting local businesses, clearly.

I just finished reading Landline by Rainbow Rowell. I know people here have liked her books. So, I was really hoping to enjoy it, but I just didn't. I thought it would be snarkier or funnier, but I mostly found it boring. I feel guilty because I was almost hoping for a (spoiler for the ending) tragic twist at the end, instead of the terribly predictable ending that the book had.

Huh, sj.
I read her earlier romance a few weeks ago, the one about the IT guy reading everyone's email at a newspaper. I enjoyed it; it's not complicated or surprising, but there's some nice character bits in it. It was just... nice.

Oh, dang--I have Landline waitin for me on my kindle. I also just read Attachments ( the email one) and enjoyed it. It wasn't big amazement but it was decent and sweet.
And I actually came in here to give a recommendation, which I'm somewhat surprised to do. Just read a series of three books (plus a novella) and inhaled them. So surprisingly good! I think the first was rec'd on Smart Bitches maybe? "The Year We Fell Down". It was billed New Adult, and much as I HAVE read many of those, they're mostly awful. Crack-tastic but awful. And these were actually good! The first is about a girl who is somewhat newly paraplegic and a freshman, and her hottie neighbor in the accessible dorm who is recovering from a broken leg. Which sounds weird, but was really good. The second book is slightly more "normal" new adult--the problems the characters have are slightly more what you'd usually see in those--but even though they are important issues, it's not constant and overly melodramatic. And the THIRD book shocked the heck out of me--it's gay dudes!! And again, pretty good! The novella was probably the least interesting of the four but it was still cute.
