Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
THANK YOU!

He's a 23 year old bundle of toxic masculinity trying really hard to convince himself he's objective. He has that one moment towards the end (which I cannot find now to quote exactly or to see who he was talking about) where he says something like "I didn't see a man, I didn't see a woman, I saw a person" and the only thing I can think is "Finally! Was that so hard?"
