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."

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.

Because books.

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.

Yeah, I was confused by that whole plot point as well, sj.

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

I skimmed through them, and there were hints for the reader, but no hint that Adam knew. Which confused me. Although I suppose Adam wouldn't have truly let a scared submissive wolf out of his sight in that environment.

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

The first review in Norman Spinrad's "On Books" in the May Asimov's(forgive my poor citation formatting, I am out of practice) is (a) just wonderful in its own right snd (2) mentions our own "David J. Schwartz's "The Sun Inside", the longest and best story in the section"
