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.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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.

not your mom's socks.
zuisa, completely concur.
