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."

not your mom's socks.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, those are beautiful images.

They REALLY are!

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

Those are the great! The second one is really cool.

They are so wonderful. I met Mike M. at Dragoncon and got to talk to him about his process - it was fantastic. Serena I've chatted with online. They did beautiful things!

I saw yours! It was great -- and you're a great reviewer! Thank you so much for that.

I feel like I should share here: I left my kindle on the plane last night! I didn't realize it until today! WOE IS ME. I mean, yah, I have an iPad and plenty of books on that, but...it's not the SAME. And the kindle is so much smaller and easier to carry around. UGH.

OH NOES!

If someone turns it on can they find your name or something? I want to hope you'll get it back somehow.

I'm going to apologize to Sox and all other board writers right now for not posting reviews anywhere ever. I hate reviewing anything, especially at Amazon.

move out and draw fire

I'm in the opposite boat. I just read a book that was so bad I feel obligated to warn people away from it, but I don't want to post a scathing review in a public place because it was SO BAD.

Thus: For the love of all that's holy, don't read The Sleeping King by Cindy Dees.

It's a fantasy novel? But it's really her account of the LARP she's been playing in for the past decade.
