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."

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.)

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Has anybody read The 5th Wave (and liked it)? I have a question about something that really didn't work in the movie and was wondering how it played in the book.
