'Shindig'
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 like the InCryptid a lot. Wasn't as big a fan of the brother but loooooved the "so you think you can dance" takeoff in the last book.
This. The InCryptid books were my first McGuires, and somehow I didn't warm to the Toby Daye series so much when I tried it. Just such a different tone.
I really didn't love the first couple of Toby stories — her writing gets much better as the series goes on (which benefited the InCryptid series). Now I can't get enough of them.
Toby's world benefits a LOT from the characters she gains over time. Now it's full-on fairy Buffy, with a whole Scooby Gang of greatness.
Last night I finished reading Winter's Bone and have gone in search for info on the religious aspect. I'm curious if the Dolly clan's origins as a cult are based on anything real. I have found myself on quite the tangent though. I found a Missouri Readers group and have been reading their reactions to all of the Gillian Flynn books.
Two things:
1. I did not know that Kindred has been adapted as a graphic novel.
2. Check out this side table designed for reading.
Phillip Pullman is going to have a companion series to the His Dark Materials series: [link]
That sounds interesting.
never have I been so happy not to have a book coming out mid-October.

And yet, I'm looking forward to Horizon way way WAY more than Pullman's books. (Seriously, the release date has been on my calendar since I finished Cloudbound.)
Oh, my, yes.
I'm actually a little meh on Pullman. The Dust was a disappointing bit of world-building for me, so I may just pass on these.
