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.

Sheesh, meara! I'm at 150 or so. You're one of the few people who consistently puts my reading addiction to shame!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Check out the Vicky Bliss books, too, -t, if you like the Jacqueline Kirbys. They're not especially deep, but they're fun.

I came across my Anne LaBastille books today, along with an early Bill Bryson and the Gary Paulsens. I'm settling in at bedtime with Woodswoman.

Our wings are not tired.

I apparently either don't read nearly enough or am not very good about recording my read books on Goodreads. Probably a bit of both. Also, I think those 1000+ page sagas I love to read should count as more than one book. To be serious, the main reason I record things on Goodreads is because otherwise I would not be able to remember what I read. Although rereading works fine for me since I generally don't remember the content either and it is all new and glorious!

Pix, it helps that I have no commute, don't grade papers like you have to, and also tend to read stuff that is not super meaty or challenging! (I mean, sometimes I do, but not super often relative to how many romances I read?)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Man, I was impressed that I read 57 books so far (my goal was 50).

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

I read one Vicky Bliss book a million years ago and took against her for some reason. I may or may not be able to set that aside, we'll see.

Prejudices against fictional characters are guiltless pleasures, -t. I may have been over-enamored because of one scene with a dog, and the setting of Garmisch-Partenkirken, with which I was familiar.

One reason I love being late to the party on books: sometimes that means there are 12 in the series already and they are all available at the library!

Art Crawl!!!

I enjoy Jane Aiken Hodge's books but I love Joan Aiken's Alternative England bioks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
