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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm finishing up Ian Tregellis' Alchemy Wars trilogy, and I love these books. Maybe not as much as I loved the Milkweed Triptych, but I will take any trip available into Ian Tregellis' brain.

Wow, Jessica. I tried to read Milkweed, and the first book left me creeped out and horrified. It felt like the entire world was tainted with a bone-deep misanthropy, I just couldn't deal with it.
I did however just finish Buried Heart, the last of the Court of Fives books, and I think she really pulled it off. There's some great narrative payoff there, and a lot of excellent action and drama. Definitely recommended.

The status is NOT quo.
One of the things I love about my e-reader is that I can carry it with me easily and I never have to worry about running out of books. Or, to prevent running out of books, carrying a lot of them with me.
Yes. This. The kindle was a MASSIVE game changer for me for this reason.

Our wings are not tired.
It is almost embarrassing that I fought electronic reading for so long. I was holding tight to my "real" books. Now, I still buy them, because irresistible, but I read everything on my Nook.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I also love it because some things are only available electronically. Also, I sometimes luck into a sale, so I can check something out and see if I want to read more by that author.

I think they should bundle them where if you buy the hardcover you get the electronic access too.

Coding and Sleeping
The Kindle Paperwhite pushed me over to preferring my e-reader to an actual book.
About a year ago I misplaced my Paperwhite and ended up getting a Voyager (which is better, but probably not worth the extra cost). Naturally, I found my Paperwhite the day after I got the Voyager. But that turned out to be awesome because my MIL recently complained about not being able to read any Kindle books since using her tablet at night kept her for falling asleep. I gave her the Paperwhite and now she can read at night again.

Sometimes that happens. Frequently there's a deal where if you get the hardcover you can get the electronic for a nominal charge, like a buck. Audiobooks also get bundled like that, but they are still more like $7.

I was reading the Coroner's Daughter on an library e-book loan, and it was really good! But it just expired and I haven't finished! I am on the waiting list again! It is good that it is so popular! But I want to finish!
