I just finished the new Kim Harrison book last night, and really liked it. And unlike Laurell K. Hamilton, Kim Harrison kills off secondary characters the main character is in a relationship with! Not to mention one of the main Big Bads. I was very surprised. Pleased, but surprised.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
the American publisher who's read the book and says it's "a very, very emotional book" and that he sobbed when reading it.
HBP made me cry, when Snape killed Dumbledore.

I was pretty good until Fawkes sang at the funeral. Then I lost it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sobbing mess, I was.
That's how Joe knew what happened.

Hey. New board.
I cried multiple times. Fawkes bit killed me dead.
I just finished "Fledgling" by Octavia E. Butler. Fun! Anthropological vampire book. Bit creepy at points, with the sexualization of the main character (who happens to be a vampire that looks like an 11-year-old girl. Um.) but generally a neat read.

Always Anti-fascist!
I like the Harry Potter books, but they don't really push my emotional buttons. Maybe I'm callous and strange.

Because books.
I sobbed at the end of HBP. I can't imagine what The Deathly Hallows is going to do to me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
No, callous and strange is even asking whether you should attend a wedding on the day of the new HP release. The HP will be there the next day, the wedding won't.

Yeah, but HP7 is an event NINE YEARS in the making! How long have the bride and groom known each other, huh?
HP doesn't make me cry. And I think the Dumbledore thing lost its impact since I was spoiled for it and spent most of the book wanting to get to it to see if it was true or not.
