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."

Our wings are not tired.

I never had the page count be different than it said on the description. They said it was a "content issue" but I don't know what that means. Oddness.

Normally it takes 3-5 page swipes to turn page number, and that was the same as usual. I'm going to bring it up on the computer and see if it is different.

not your mom's socks.

Ughh Laura - I don't know about the Nook at all but that's upsetting & I'll let people know. I have a couple copies left, if you want to hit me at my profile addy I can send.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, I can't remember who offered me a copy of Handmaid's Tale (Kat?), but I resigned myself to purchasing it, and figured that an ebook would be cheaper. Went to Amazon, and lo and behold, it was free with my Prime subscription. It's all tied up in the Kindle app, but it's perfect for a re-read.

Wanted to say thanks for the offer, and share this windfall (that everyone else probably already knew about).

Because books.

Is that the lending thing, where you get it for a week?

Oh, I don't know. I presumed I had it until I got rid of the app, but I guess I better check :)

I am seriously enjoying the expanse series. I'm in the middle of the second book which introduced some really interesting characters.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay! I don't know that I have anything else to say about it, but I'm very enthusiastic about those books.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Prime Lending Library doesn't have time limits, but you can only have one book out at a time.

I was SO HAPPY when the TV show brought characters in from the 2nd book right away, because they are my favorites.

I love the U.N. lady. My favorite character so far.
