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.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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."

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.

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?

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I read her fantasy trilogy after CNV and RUF. Not as compelling by a long shot, no.
CNV was one of those rare books that I wanted to read again the second I finished it.

zuisa, completely concur.
