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.

Report: Carousel Court by Joe McGinnis Jr. was fantastic, in the spectacular train wreck way of Gone Girl (it also shares a lot of similarities with Gone Girl, which is both good and bad, I think). Could not stop reading it once I passed a certain point, and he evokes this almost apocalyptic, hellish setting brilliantly. Phoebe and Nick (see? another Nick) are not the same as Amy and Nick, but their dynamic is very similar. I loved it, although I have some feelings to resolve about gender politics/representation.

Also, and I can't remember if I linked this already, does everyone have this: [link] ? It's a library extension for Amazon that tells you how many copies of a title are available in your local system, and allows you place a hold on it. I love this thing like cake.

Ooh, that sounds exceedingly useful!

ETA: extension installed, and I will be using the hell out of this! Thank you, Amy!

I just finished The Likeness by Tana French. Wow. It's the 2nd book in her Dublim Murder Squad series and they are so good.

I loved The Likeness.

I love those books so much. I think The Likeness is my favourite.

I am impatiently waiting to hear news on them becoming a TV series. (Which they better not fuck up.)
