I love that you do that. I do that! I didn't know other people did, too.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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."

Because books.

That's what I ended up doing this last time I tried to reread Lasher.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I love the Mona parts of Lasher, too! The Witching Hour is sort of too much world building for me. I also can't quite get over how much Interview made me love Louis, so I still want to see Louis to the exclusion of Lestat. and the Vampire Lestat made me love Lestat. And I sort of want a big happy Louis/Lestat ending someday.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I love that you do that. I do that! I didn't know other people did, too.
The rest of it is just too...meh. Well, I like the Aaron and Beatrice parts, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The last Anne Rice book I read was Queen of the Damned. Would I be totally lost if I skipped to Prince Lestat?
I haven't even read the new one (I've had it for days but it's either sleep or read and I can't functionally work with no sleep anymore and I don't want to get fired, so it's waiting until the weekend) but I think I can safely say that if you stopped at QotD, you have kept more of your soul than the rest of us.
It needs to be the weekend. I have a book to read.

So, if a book is released on Kindle on a certain date, like, tomorrow, at what time is the book likely to be available to me? Midnight? 8am? Maybe a little early, like tonight before bedtime? You'd think I'd know this, but it's never come up before.

Midnight, I'd think? Though not sure WHICH midnight...

I think last time I had that happen and I was actually paying attention (that is to say, anxiously awaiting said book), it was midnight Eastern time.

Well, it is very unlikely that I will wait until midnight, but it's good to know that if I am awake at 4am (sadly, not too unusual) the book will likely be there! I have a book I am dying for and the day off tomorrow, but also have the kids at home and a to-do list the length of my arm.

Ooh, that sounds like a recipe for frustration. I hope you get some good reading time in!
