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."

Of interest to some here, a discounted e-book anthology ($1.99 through 3/21):By Blood We Live by Collected Authors

Yes? You rang? It looks to be a pretty good collection, and includes some stories I haven't read yet. Yay!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yay Cordelia!

Seraphina fans: Shadowscale is almost as good as I hoped it would be. The pacing is uneven, but it has much wonderfulness.

Yes, I did rather assume you were at the head of the list of interested parties. Pleasure to be of service, ma'am. *tips imaginary hat*

Credit to Susan Wilbanks, I found it in her Facebook post.

I was just coming here to post it if the news hadn't spread this far yet. :)

Oh, good. I just bought it on Audible but I'm re-listening to some Pratchett first. I really liked Seraphina.

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

I snapped up that vamp anthology, too. Just finished reading the latest Anne Bishop book; must carve out time to write reviews for that and the latest Patricia Briggs.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Insurgent question: I thought I remember reading here that in the book we learn that Amity is drugged. Or is that in Book 3? Because that's not in the movie.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's definitely in Insurgent. Tris (and Four?) find(s) out when they go to Amity for refuge. How the hell can the movie leave that out??? That's HUGE.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I just finished reading all three books (book three - why?). There is MUCH in the movie trailers for Insurgent that does not match - not just leaving stuff out but adding things that just....why. I'll still want to see it, but am going in with low book story expectations.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Book 3, why? is the correct response.
