I remember crying over parts of The Summer Tree.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yeah, good stuff.
It was The Lions of Al-Rassan that made me cry.

Oh man, the battle at the end of Lions.. between Rodrigo Belmonte and Ammar ibn Khairan made me so upset I didn't want to read to see the conclusion.
Such a sad and beautiful story.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I love so much GG Kay. I remember absolutely, full-bore sobbing at pretty much the entire last 1/8th of the last book.
Loved Lions, Tigana, the Sarantium duology, Song for Arbonne, and his first Asian-inspired book. The others, though...I just didn't like the newer ones. That others are so emotionally rich and I just didn't feel much for the characters in the latest ones.

I'm halfway through Code Name Verity and I, uh.... I have a fair feeling I am going to be emotionally devastated by this book.

Because books.
You're not wrong, zuisa. But it's completely worth it.
