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.

Is that the series that begins with In the Woods?

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.

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 ?

I figured that Adam knew , but I did not go back and reread the part when they're getting on the plane to see if there were hints.
