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."

I raise his status to uber-MEGA egotistical pretentious racist shitlord.

Where is the lie.

(Edit: Jeeesus Christ, WS is still mentioning certain people by name on his blog.)

HOW HAS HE NOTHING BETTER TO DO?! What a turd.

And to actually post about a book I'm looking forward to reading:

Adulthood is a Myth by Sarah Andersen: [link]

ION, did everyone know there's a new Vorkosigan book??

I meant to burble about that but I guess I didn't. I loved it - always enjoy Cordelia (although this book made me super jealous of her) and seeing Miles from outside his own head is always fun. Also, it made me want to drop everything and read the whole Vorkosigan saga in chronological order. But I have to catch up on The Expanse, so that will have to wait.

Aw, that whole "Frequently bought together" at shrift's link makes me happy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I did exactly that! The second I finished listening to Gentleman Jole, I went and downloaded the rest of the series. So far I'm up to Cetaganda. (This job has completely spoiled me for actual with-my-eyes reading.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I may be about to do that, too. But I own so few of them!

Ebooks for most of the Vorkosigan books are available at [link] . The publisher released them on a CD with Cryoburn, so it does not include the latest book and the Ivan book.

And downloaded. Heh.

Oh shit, I have those! But not an e-reader, but it's good to remember in case of emergency.

The e-book versions are very useful when searching for previous mentions of "Gentleman Jole".

Well, I finished The Expanse (now I have to wait for more, woes! But I can rewatch the series so far with my newly acquired knowledge of backstories, etc, so that should be fun), and I am pretty sure I have the CD that came with Cryoburn somewhere...
