Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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'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.
Oh no, meara! As deeply as I love the look and smell and feel of books, I have become addicted to my Nook. Particularly with my habit of reading several things at once. And changing the font, and backlighting, and oh I do so love technology.
Yes, I haven't "lost" any actual books in losing the kindle. And I can still read on my iPad. But it's a full size iPad, which is better for Internet and games, but makes it unwieldy for reading--and not as easy to carry around. Apparently on Alaska if you lose something they mail it to you, you can't pick it up. So it may be a few weeks even if someone turned it in.
Maybe you need a second kindle?

Thanks for that, Raq. I just hope I don't see that title somewhere and think "that sounds familiar, maybe I should get it..." Hopefully by bringing that possibility to mind I am guarding against it. I have bought more crappy books that way.
I will think good thoughts for your Kindle.
even if someone turned it in.
You never know. I found a Kindle in the seat pocket in front of me and did turn it in. So it does happen.
pssssst it's "javachik."
Ran down to Mysterious Galaxy on my lunch break to pick up Updraft , so I can have at least a couple/few chapters read before the event tomorrow. (Also picked up Uprooted , because I've been wanting to read it for a while now. And Sparrow Hill Road , because Seanan, plus it sounds really good. And also one called Serpentine , because I thought it sounded interesting in Mysterious Galaxy's last newsletter, and the author happened to be standing there, so I bought it and had her sign it for me). So including lunch almost $100, which is a bit above the average for a lunch break, but I'm still very pleased.
And I get to meet Sox & have her sign hers tomorrow!
And I get to meet Sox & have her sign hers tomorrow!
YES!!! Awesome!
For those to whom this is relevant, there seems to be a nascent Skymouth Protection Society happening on twitter... currently Polter-Cow is in the grip of a large one named Maxmillian.
I am ridiculously delighted by this and want to make them a flag and some stickers because that's what I do.
We absolutely need a flag
