Oh wow, I totally missed this! Congratulations Fran for the Nebula nomination for The Jewel and Her Lapidary!
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

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."

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.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
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.

Concur. But it's awesome.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
What they said. Devastating and amazing.

Because books.
And Rose Under Fire is just as devastating, but also well worth it. I haven't read her others yet, but I plan to.

You know she has a new book coming out?
Amy - Mar 03, 2017 8:34:31 am PST #24384 of 28260
Because books.
I did not! I do know I'm behind on her last ... two, I think? So much to read, so little yadda yadda ...
I just read the blurb for the new book -- yay!
And I'm also missing one of her other books, aside from the earlier series, this one, Black Dove, White Raven: [link]

I liked BDWR but it wasn't anywhere near as good as CNV.
