Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

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 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.)

Because books.

Is that the series that begins with In the Woods?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I love those books! I do think The Likeness is my favorite, with Faithful Place a close second. And I tore through the last one too (The Trespasser).

Art Crawl!!!

It's so much fun to find a good series that has a fair number of books in it.

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"

Thanks, Amy. That extension is wonderful. I've been doing the library-availability checking manually and this is so much easier.

Calli, I love the Temeraire books. I recently re-read the whole series and just fell into the world. I did not want to leave. I also really appreciated Novik's writing -- the worldbuilding and the characters' voices, particularly Temeraire's. Such a charming character.

Isn't it the best, bennett? My Amazon wishlist functions as a kind of default library list anyway, but this is so efficient!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I finally finished Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs, and I have a very spoilery question for anyone who has already it. Did Adam know that that was Bran the whole time, or was their some sort of glamour ?
