That would be so perfect
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."
Wouldn't it be great to have an entire ensemble of people with Perky Goth coordinated ensembles?
Congrats, Hippo! May you feel fabulous, whatever you wear.
I wonder if anyone ever wears one of those Trashion creations and walks out in a dress made out of books? That would look nice and reference the source material too.
Neil Gaiman interview on the NYT Book Review podcast.
There are 18 books in Cherryh's Foreigner series?!? Why did I think it had concluded way back when?
That was my thought, too. I only knew about 6 and I think I've only read 4.
All those one word titles are so similar, I'm having trouble figuring out which I've read. I think maybe just the first trilogy. And if I've got 15 books to catch up on maybe I should just start at the beginning anyway, that was a long time ago I'm sure I've forgotten a lot.
I'm so confused! Has anyone else had odd pagination issues with Nook? I was psyched to finally read The Jewel and Her Lapidary, but I was confused with the page count being 50 when the Nook edition shows 80 pages. It was a whole and satisfying story so I don't think they chopped out 30 pages, but it was just peculiar that the page count was wrong.
So I wrote to them asking about the difference and they replied -
I have confirmed that the problem you described with "The Jewel and Her Lapidary " results from a content issue. Please respond to this email if you wish to have this order refunded while waiting for the NOOK Book's content to be fixed. You can repurchase the title at a later date after the issue has been resolved.
I replied that no, I didn't want a refund, but could they just update the content when they fix it.
This was the absolute only issue I had with the book, which is clearly an issue with Barnes & Noble and not with the author!
eta: but where my 30 pages be?
I somehow just managed to find this: "Nevertheless, she persisted" - a short fiction event on tor.com.
