Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even 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."

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?

You don't have to, Burrell. But they are good too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I spend a chunk of last weekend catching up on the last two years (!) of this thread. You all talked me into buying some books and now all I want to do is read. I just finished Station Eleven, which was kinda perfect for a theatre geek who likes post-apoc stories. I'd really like to not go to work tomorrow and just start on the next one.

Thanks Kat, I tried to swap out the book at the library but the first Grisha book was checked out, so I figured I'd just start with the one I have. But meanwhile I read another book called The Whatnot since I'd already read the companion book The Peculiar and I knew it would be a fast read.

move out and draw fire

Anyone read A Head Full of Ghosts ? I read it yesterday and really need to talk about it.
