This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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

Me too.

Our wings are not tired.

Me three! Sounds like a delightful plan. I have read a quantity of our authors and still have some that I own but haven't read yet. (reminder to self that I owe some reviews)

It matters not if I have already read anything that is selected because I have a terrible memory and enjoy rereading in general.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh yay, fun! If I did not make it clear, I do not think anyone would be obligated to join for every book, just join if a book interests you and fits with life that month.

I think the idea will be to select a book as early as possible in a month and then open discussion on it one a particular date the last week of the month and leave that discussion open for however long, whilst also choosing the next book.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sounds good, msbelle. We're already friends on Goodreads.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I sent you a friend request, msbelle, and a couple more Buffistas whose names popped up as friends of other Buffistas. If anyone wants to connect with me on Goodreads, let me know! I've gotten much more active on there this year.

Everyone should read Jennifer Cruise. She is fun and easy but also very, very good.

Because books.

I liked her last one, Maybe This Time. But I would love another Faking It or Welcome to Temptation.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

She is the best! I don't even generally like contemporary romance, but hers are so much fun. For historical, I am currently in love withEloisa James.

Readers of historical romance, if you have not yet read Joanna Bourne, do so. Start with The Forbidden Rose.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I love Jenny Cruisie. I end up rereading Faking It, Welcome to Temptation, and Bet Me almost every year.
