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

OTOH, mash them up with that book club that invited the football player to join them and you have a hilarious sitcom waiting to happen.

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

I think I know this guy. [link])

Man that guy sounds pretty cool.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think I come out as 1/8 Cherokee (one great-grandmother was from the reservation in North Carolina). Since I'm culturally about as white as you can get, I've never done anything about it. Genetically ... I seem to be missing most immunities to European diseases.

Always Anti-fascist!

Actually, dycalculia is not my friend...my brother and I are an eighth.

The status is NOT quo.

Just read The Fifth Season, I.e., the new Jemisin and it is excellent. Want next book NOW.

So funny -- I adore Jemisin, but this book did nothing for me. Beautifully written, but I didn’t care about it for some reason.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When my dad did a DNA thing, I believe it suggested he had an unexpectedly high percentage of Sami background. [link] Aside from preferring cooler climes, this hasn't really affected my life--I'm just another white Midwestern cat lady.

Did I mention The Invention of Wings here? My book group read it this month. It was good. I especially admired how Kidd structured it between her two main character's viewpoints.

I don't have the book, yet, but I have the bookplate!

Thank you, Sox, I knew you would have good words for me. It's perfect.

I am appreciating one general spoiler. Some things I don't want sneaking up on me.
