I still have to read her books, actually.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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."

Because books.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
One of the negative reviews for the Hamiltome I read was a complaint about the edges being ragged and not liking getting a damaged book. Feature it's a feature person.
When I worked in a bookstore, we used to get returns All. The. Time. from people bitching that books with deckled edges were "damaged".
I mean, whatever, if it's within the return period and you have the receipt. But "idiot" is in your file forever now.

The status is NOT quo.
Strix and I have ALL TEH BOOKS. The credit is especially good because most of our Amazon dollars go to pet food.

Hey. New board.
I am reading Discworld. I read the first witch book. It was great. I am now reading the first Death book. Thus far, I think I like it even more. So that's good.
I may just read them in the order I can get off of the hold lists at my library, which solves the reading order issue nicely.
I also just finished the audio book of Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. If you haven't heard of it, it's pretty crazy-meta; first, Rowell wrote a book called Fangirl about a girl who writes slash fanfiction. The universe that she writes fanfiction in was described as enough like Harry Potter to be evocative of it, but different enough to avoid any weird copyright issues. But then she decided she liked the fictional universe she had created enough to write an actual book in it. But not one of the books described in Fangirl, and not in the style of that fictional universe. But in that same universe. So...yeah. It's kind of like Rainbow Rowell wrote an A.U. last chapter fanfic for a series that doesn't actually exist except inside her head.
Also, it's really quite good. It reads a lot like some of the best Harry Potter fic I've read, which I guess makes sense! I got way more into it than I expected to and by the end liked it as much as anything I've read by her.

Gris, too funny -- I'm reading Carry On right now -- as in, just put it down to eat lunch and do laundry.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through. My theory is that the Insidious Humdrum is merely a manifestation of Simon's power, and that someone in Baz's family is responsible for the vampire attack that killed his mother.
I should know by the end of the day if I'm right...
