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."

Hey. New board.

Apparently the movie is cute. It wasn't my favorite John green book though I liked it didn't but it is probably the best one to turn into a movie. I hope to see it.

In a fit of complete irresponsibility, I fell victim to Unshelved's adorable card catalog USB drives.

Then I was further seduced in getting it with the PDFs of all their collected comics.

I've decided to back up all the fic I've ever downloaded to it. Because card catalog.

On the plus side, I paid for it with the money I've received from selling figs and gaming thingies. Trading things I don't have a use for for things I want. Kind of like barter.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Unshelved is good stuff! And those USB drives are adorable.

And then I got home and realized that I do actually own one of them, it was just on the wrong shelf so I forgot about it. Oops.

Five books on the monstrous.

"...filled with monsters, including creatures that don’t necessarily hew to traditional monster values. ... [and] They never sparkle."
