From the sublime to the ... ridiculous?
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thrive to spite them
The excerpt wasn't the worst thing I've ever read.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yeah, I've read worse.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
CAN'T STOP READING UPDRAFT.
I'm sure my job will understand I am unable to work until I finish it.

OKAY FINISHED.
God, that was beautiful. And nerve-wracking. I have more to say, but it's after midnight and I need to go to bed.
SO GOOD.

not your mom's socks.
Thank you so much Steph and Rayne and Amych and everyone who is reading. This makes my day.... and is making traveling easier. (While I was staying with JavaChick, I kept asking her if she wanted to know what happened next when she was in the middle of the book. She didn't kill me.)

Sox, the image of Kirit singing in the Gyre at the end will stay with me for a long, LONG time.

Steph, an artist named Serena Malyon did a painting that feels like that scene feels to me - you may not want to break the image from your own vision of it (and I'm really glad to hear it)... would love to see how you saw it.
if you want to see Serena's it's here: [link] another artist did a sepia study with bone shards everywhere that had me in awe. that's: [link]

Our wings are not tired.
I wish I were a better review writer! I did post reviews of Updraft on Barnes & Noble where I got my Nook version, and a couple other places, but it didn't adequately express my delight.
I've been catching up with my Buffista writer backlog and just finished a couple of Amy's (one wasn't enough), and just started Barb's Both Sides Now. Summer in Otter Lake means more hours available for reading. This is a very good thing.

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