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."

Has anyone here read anything by Kelly Braffet? I started reading Save Yourself over vacation and couldn't put it down.

Wow, I had no idea that "The Handmaid's Tale" was being made into a series for Hulu. Elisabeth Moss is playing Offred and Joseph Fiennes is playing The Commander.
This could be really, really good!
I'm also super excited for the American Gods series!
AND Lin-Manuel Miranda is now involved with Kingkiller Chronicles! Not just the music, but as a creative producer as well! Words colliding!

I just finished the new Anne Rice book, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis.
Vampires. Aliens. Ghosts. And a solid third of the book taken up with meandering philosophical wankery. Oh, and an alien species that are giant birds.
It was something. What, I'm not entirely sure. But something. But not as fun as Prince Lestat was.

I finished reading The Jewel and Her Lapidary this morning, despite ltc waking up with only 5 pages to go. What a wonderful story! Are there any other stories planned for this world?
