You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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."

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.
