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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

OK, then!

Dammit, why do I have to do this work stuff instead of lying around reading all day? I need a better lifestyle.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So, has anyone read Grace of Kings? I wanted to like it so much, and I didn't. Did we already talk about this?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My review of it just went up online!

Damn, I just bought it -- it was on sale. So I can't read your review, P-C.

In other news, Kate Elliott's new YA Court of Fives dropped today, and it's supposed to be excellent, so I grabbed it. Can't wait. Also can't wait for Updraft, which will drop just in time for me to read it while hiking the hills of northern England. And I'm on the library hold list for Nora Jemisin's new book, which everyone appears to be squeeing about.

My reviews don't have spoilers! Well, no explicit spoilers.

Which I also reviewed! And squeed about.

So much to read!

I either bought or got a sample of Grace of Kings recently but haven't read it yet. juliana is giving me pause - I have had that reaction enough times to dread it a little.

Can I just say I want to "like" Raq's post about Sox's Acknowledgments? Or upvote or favorite or whatever.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

If anyone (else) hasn't read it yet, the Kindle version of "The Wee Free Men" is $1.99 on Amazon.

Don't know for how long ....

So have people seen the Hugo outcomes yet? I'm calling this a win for the good guys, although I do feel sorry for Ursula Vernon and the other people in her position.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I just read the Wired article about the Hugos: [link] and it sounds like it turned out as well as it could have.
