Buffistas

Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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."

Thrive to spite them

I got a library card for the then I'm in about 2x a week.

They have a bigger selection but their shelving confuses me. Sci Fi and fantasy are split up. With mysteries and western on between. Some graphic novels are in fantasy some are in a graphoc novel shelf near the teen section. I can't tell a rhyme or reason because Watchmen is in the teen section. Avengers and Flash and Wonder Woman are in fantasy.

Also after Fantasy is Biographies. All other non fiction is across the library.

They have Updraft and Cloudbound .

Whoa, that is confusing. I suppose you'll get used to it? Or find another way of finding things than looking on the shelves.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I recently read an e-book of "The Rook" - set in London, starts off with a woman coming to in the middle of a park, at night, surrounded by dead bodies. She's soaking wet and seems to have been beaten up, but has no memory at all. Finds an envelope in her pocket explaining that she (the previous non-amnesiac her) had been warned that she'd lose her memory and so has prepared. The story revolves around a secret department in the British government that recruits young children with special abilities, trains them and uses them to protect the country from the supernatural. It took a while for me to get into it, but I enjoyed it once it got moving.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

There is a sequel called Stiletto. I haven't read it yet, but I believe that Kat and/or Pix have. Told from the POV of the villains IIRC. (Not relevant, but, I met the author, completely adorkable.)

Art Crawl!!!

Sounds interesting.

I have started reading The Huntsmen

on the Storm and Ash website. It's a supernatural story set in Victorian England involving a family called the Graysons, who, alas, are not 19th century British acrobats but so far I am enjoying it. (There are six parts out now.)

Sorry -it's the Greysons not the Graysons.

The status is NOT quo.

People, The Strenge Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss is awesome, and you should all go read it. Jilli, I think it's especially up your alley. [link]

I definitely will need to read that.

Y'all, The Three-Body Problem series is so good! I don't even want to say anything about it other than that. Kinda reminds me of Olaf Stapledon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have the third one in my TBR pile!
