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."

The status is NOT quo.

Honestly, Debet, I didn't pick up on that reveal for some time, honestly, though I had figured it out by the end.

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

And Amy's extension tells me that I can put Murderbot Diaries on hold at the library, 3rd in queue. Technology, sometimes you are all right.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Interesting, Pix. I think it was the they tried to give me anti-parasitics and I nearly died, and then they did it again and I nearly died again that made me pretty sure. That and the warm, hot dark.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I finished the Murderbot story last night and my only complaint is that it's TOO SHORT. Apparently she has 2 more in the works, and may published them all together in a hard copy version.

Well, you must send them your favorites and teach them what's right.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The one Louisiana entry (Maple Street Book Store) is closing next month; my two favorites in town are Blue Cypress for the used books, lovely cat, and staff and Garden District Book Shop (for local books, author events, and employing my friends Ted and Rayna).

YAY VROMANS! It's a pretty awesome book store.

For used bookstores, you can't beat The Last Bookstore, though.

ALSO! One of my students wrote an awesome feature on Children's Book World and independent bookstores in general, and it's pretty awesome. [link]
