Ok, just came back from seeing Allegiant so naturally I read the Wikipedia entry for the book to see how it matched up and I guess the movie bears a passing resemblance to what I read there. But, given what I remember people here saying about it, maybe that's a good thing? In any case, for a non-reader, this movie was way more entertaining than the last one.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love 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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is it the final movie, or are they making one more?

The second movie is Ascendant. Really, the amazing thing is that I had no idea it was being split into two. My critic friend had to tell me there were two during the credits. For all the ridiculousness of the plot and world-building it seemed a complete story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I remembered my mother got a Kindle for Christmas, and she's never used it! So now I can use it to re-read all the Vorkosigan books! Hooray.

I seem to have forgotten how to put material I have onto the kindle. Maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow. I know I've done it before, it can't be that hard.

You plug it into your computer and open the folders there -- then you can just drag the files in.

I thought that's what I did! Apparently not.
ETA: Aha, missed the folder! Got it now. Falling Free, ready for my next break.

This Vorkosigan project has already paid off for me: i apparently never read Shards of Honor, or at least not all of it. I must have read part of a serialization or excerpt somewhere to give me the idea I could check that off when I was actively trying to catch up on the series.

Hey. New board.
I'm reading and listening to it right now! My library has most of the audiobooks to check out on overdrive so I can go back and forth.
