Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

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

Two Buffista appearances to look forward to in Asimov's March issue: one new author, one On Books subject [link]

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!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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).

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

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.

A library with a liberal approach to return due dates?

A library that treats books like the nailpolish box, just update the website for where the book is currently located.

It pisses me off that Ginger isn't here to read this:

Judith Tarr is leading a reread of Katherine Kurtz's Deryni novels, over at Tor.com: [link] (I would have linked to the reread itself, but she's not consistent about the tagging.)
