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."

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.

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

Always Anti-fascist!
From the Wired article: Dude that claims qualifying for "tribal membership" is some badge of diversity. I am, like, 1/16 Muscogee Indian(Creek) because my grandfather was half. I know very little about the culture at all(Grandpa had some *heavy* identity issues) but because the tribe has kind of a "one drop" rule, my blond, blue-eyed brother has a tribal card.He mostly uses it to get campaign literature and vote in tribal elections,but I think I would beat the snot out of him if he said that just having it gave him insights into diversity, even if we do have proof that great-grandma was on the trail of tears. But then again, what can you expect from a grown man who proudly calls himself a "rabid puppy"...what a fucknut. Some tribes (Hopis, for instance) are *totally* strict about whom they let in, but I kind of doubt that anyone with Hopi blood would be all "all this damn diversity, messing up our quality!1"
