Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Sox, Kate Elliott has at least one book coming out this year, I think. And another of Martha Wells' Raksura books. Plus doesn't Yoon Ha Lee's first novel come out this spring? (Which reminds me that I really need to read Conservation of Shadows, it's just that I'm terrible at short story collections, I much prefer novels.)

Right now I'm reading Years of Rice and Salt, which I never got around to before. It's quite interesting, although I'm not quite sure what the point is yet...

Nice! I love that I've amassed a shelf full of Buffista books.

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

Oooh!! (Although, alas, Sheila used a gendered pronoun when I deliberately avoided that in my story so the main character could be any gender. I corrected that in her intro to my story.)

Thanks for these, -t!

As a reader, I feel spoiled with all the excellent Buffista writing I get to read (and own, so that I can re-read and re-read and re-read).

It's pretty damn sweet.

And I don't mind being able to say "My friend's book/story [some suitable comment]" on occasion

Totally agree. I hope we have many more books on the shelves - a bookstore for the island?

You misspelled LIBRARY, cousin.

Suzi, I hope your day has improved.
