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."

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

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!

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.

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

We absolutely need a flag

...and I have purposely not scheduled anything else the rest of Saturday, in case you're not already scheduled to your eyeballs and want to hang in some fashion. (I have no idea how much wining & dining & spoiling the nice people at Tor are doing for you guys, but assuming they're not treating you like you're Richard Castle or something...although if they are, then maybe I could be your hanger-on for some wining and dining and general fabulousness...)

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

And Sparrow Hill Road , because Seanan, plus it sounds really good.

It is 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

Oh yay!! Serpentine is good, and Cindy is lovely. That's the first book in a duology, in case you didn't know.

Finished Updraft on the flight back from New Orleans yesterday. So wonderful! I loved it.

Stephanie Meyer has published a new Twilight book

It's not Midnight Sun or another side story. It's a retelling of the first book....genderswapped.

We have been afflicted with the romance of clumsy human boy Beau and ridiculously attractive vampire girl Edythe.

.....

Yeah, I got nothing.

There's not a known, safe method of inducing aphasia, is there?
