Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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."

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

Okay, I just read/skimmed all of 2014 (it was nice to see ita and Ginger again), and never found a word about The Girl with All the Gifts. I would absolutely swear I remember seeing people talking about it here. Am I imagining it?

edit: friggin' autocorrect

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

I don't remember hearing about it, but that doesn't mean much. The summary looks interesting.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We talked about the movie version of The Girl With All the Gifts in Movies.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Yeah, the part where Roxy's dad transplants her skein into her brother was horrifying and made me so angry. Although at least the brother does get a satisfyingly awful comeuppance.

OK, so this 17776 thing is kinda cool. (Just started it.)

Because books.

Found a Hamilton shoutout in a Tessa Dare romance. Delightful!

For anyone who likes Ellis Peters, the books in her George Felse series are on sale for $1.99 to $2.99 at Amazon. At least, I assume that's a sale price. Regardless, they're well worth it.
