I'm very much emotionally invested in the HP books, and would like the final book right NOW please, thankyouverymuch.
LOOK! LOOK! I'm Jilli!
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!
'War Stories'
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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh, Jilli, I didn't know the new Harrison was out! I may splurge and get it tonight, even though that would involve me taking off my vintage apple-green pleated silk nightie with hand-crochted tea-dyed lace and walking to the bookstore.
Will I like it? Will I have a HSM? Damn, I want a good book tonight. I need to be distracted from my teacherly ire (see BItches.)

You will like it, and you will most likely have at least one HSM, if not more. (I had a couple.) So I think it's totally worth getting changed and walking to the bookstore for.

Oh, excellent. I think I will hustle up and get it in a few minutes. B&Noble is only 3 blocks from my apartment.

I kinda hate that the covers have been released, because it just makes waiting that. much. harder.
And then, it's going to all be over. Like the end of Buffy. (Or maybe more like the end of Angel.) And THAT makes me want the book to never be released, so that the story can't end.
But then I *need* to know what happens....

Take that back!
(Can you tell that I'm still living in the very pleasant fantasyland where J.K. Rowling will go on to write novels about Hogwarts during the Marauders' era? Does it show much?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just didn't care about the characters, and the book barely held my interest.
It took me forever to read. I started Swordspoint after Fledgling and finished it first. It wasn't much of anything except a huge disappointment.
And I own it in hardcover. It's a bit harder to BookX those, emotionally.

I have accomplished Bookage. I am back in the nightie (oh, sweet blissful softness of aged silk!) and I have foie gras with sauternes, chevre du miel and margarita cookies.
I splurged. But not killing someone is emotionally exhausting. I needed it.
I will be back to discuss with you tomorrow, Jilli. Yea, new book by author I really like. She popped this out FAST.

I went to the reading she did here in Seattle on Wed. night, and she said the next one is already at the publisher.
