I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

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."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hee.

Hey. New board.

I just read Fangirl and Attachments, both by Rainbow Rowell, over the last week. They were both enjoyable - I wasn't surprised after finishing it that Attachments was her first novel as it was definitely unbalanced with a tad bit of creepiness from the main character, but pleasurable nonetheless. Reminded me a bit of some of Meg Cabot's adult novels.

Eleanor and Park is a better novel than either but I recommend them all if you enjoy light romance.

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

That's cute; I read it in about 5 hours.

Prince Lestat is sitting on my Kindle, and has been since midnight last night.

I have not opened it yet. Because if I do, I won't get anything else done today, and I've got dayjob things I need to take care of.

But ... vampires!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Jilli, you are definitely winning the Marshmallow Test right now.

Wow, Jilli, are you okay? I mean, do you need medication or something?

I am being a responsible adult.

I DON'T WANT TO.

Dammit, book! Right over there! Still in an ambiguous state of "Might be better than Blood Canticle"!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
