Pick up Young Avengers !
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

Thanks, P-C, that looks good!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm not sure this qualifies as "literary" but it was either here or Bitches: were-cuttlefish m/m erotica. The reviewer was disappointed that there were no tentacles involved.

Has anyone read the complete "All Souls Trilogy" which started with A Discovery of Witches?
I just finished the first book and have some mixed feelings, and I'm curious what people thought if they completed the complete trilogy?

I've been trying to read Discovery , but it's not very gripping.

Hey. New board.
My wife LOVED discovery. I found it... problematic and a little boring but not without merit. She was less fond of the second book, which I found much more interesting. Less stupid romantic plot line (though more sex, if that helps/hinders anything) and far more historical knowledge for the sake of it. I never bothered to read the third one, but I think she liked it better than the second.
She describes it as Twilight for smart people, which, okay. I enjoyed some of the bits for smart people but never quite made it past the twilight parts in my head.

I couldn't get through the kindle sample of Discovery.

The history angle is what I'm interested in, I think I've read too many vampire romances to be that interested. It's sitting in the car and I read a few bits if I'm waiting at a drive through or just enjoying the rain.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Rayne, I read it. And then re-read it recently. The first book was ok. I loved most of the second book. I disliked the third the first time I read it, but liked it much better on re-read.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I read the first two but haven't read the third yet. Now that it's summer I'll be reading it soon. I enjoyed them as a quick read with some fun history thrown in, but suspect I'll actually enjoy her historical books more. I met Deb this past April when she came to speak at the Undergraduate Writers Conference at 'SC. She's really nice, fun to talk to, lots and lots to say.
