'Never Leave Me'
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."
Jilli - what is the book that you are denying yourself?
I have been making use of the uni library to get things like "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt. . . picked it up yesterday and read about a page.
I still owe the public library my heart's blood so I cannot yet take books out there.
Meanwhile, Amazon tells me that my copy of the new Rothfuss has arrived. . . I'm not sure I recall what happened in the first two. Should I dive in? Or re-read?
sumi, it's not the third book. It's a novella about Auri, so as long as you basically remember who she is, you should be fine.
Thank's P-C.

Prince Lestat, the Brand! New! Anne Rice Novel! Which is supposed to be set immediately after Queen of the Damned, which means none of the body-switching, Lestat goes to Heaven/Hell/trips balls nonsense! Just ... Lestat having been a rock star, being kidnapped and fed super-powerful ancient blood, and nearly helping to destroy most of civilization?
Look, I know they're lurid and cracky books. But, Lestat! My one true charming monster woobie!
Ah.
I should have guessed - but I quit the Anne Rice habit some time ago.
Then again, sumi, The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear are always worth a re-read!
I have the new Ancillary novel on my Kindle, but I can't read it until I finish reading So Big by Edna Ferber. Which is really good!

Ancillary Sword is really really good. I thought Justice lost its way a bit in the final chapter, but this one picks up those plot threads and just runs away with them in a really fun way.

Oh. Oh! Really? I want to read that!
t edit Cool. I'm 206 on the list, with 130 copies. That's not bad. But maybe I should check the ebook list, too. t edit again Okay, added to that list, too. I'm 17 on the list, with 4 copies. I'm curious to see which one turns up first.
