Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

I was not aware of the Compton Crook award, but Diane Duane just tweeted out that Updraft also won that.

Context: The Compton Crook Award is presented to the best first English language novel of the year in the field of Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Horror by the members of the Baltimore Science Fiction Society, Inc, at their annual Baltimore-area science fiction convention, Balticon, held on Memorial Day weekend in the Baltimore, Maryland area.

not your mom's socks.

Thanks you guys for everything!!! it's been a kind of nutty week and I've been sneaking over here to just hang. This place, and all of you, means so much to me.

ETA: go on, correct my grammar, I demand it.

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

Oh, that's great! Congratulations, Sox! I'm so pleased that a book I like so much is getting recognition.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, I hope my massage therapist follows any of this kind of news, because I know she was a little skeptical when I told her to read the book my friend wrote, even though I was all, "It's really good! It's winning awards!!!"

Our wings are not tired.

I hope it wasn't weird that I posted in Beep Me! I am so behind in all of the threads except this one, so I knew all y'all who were in here knew about it, but I wanted the lurkers and everyone else to know, too!

Although I subscribe here and enjoyed reading all the congratulatory wishes it gave me another thrill to see the notice in Beep Me. So, thanks!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Congrats again Sox! See you at Balticon!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Summer is when I mainline reading that I've been unable to get to all year long. I was about to start Six of Crows, but realized it comes after the Grisha series. Should I read that first?
