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."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think it would be HIGHLY amusing to have Chuck Tingle chime in on this.

Like Tingle would pass this up: [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Courtney Milan has posted the court transcript.

It's quite a read.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Do we know what the judge looks like? Because I'd like to have a mental image of the person who went to law school, did his time as a lawyer, and clawed his way into the judiciary, just to have to say "cocky" 30 times in under 2 minutes. With (presumably) a straight face.

Pop-tarts.

Those in the Steve/Bucky Avengers fandom probably remember Owlet. She's writing original stories under her real (or at least less fannish) name, and I am loving it. [link]

(By the way, this isn't me outing her. She made the connection between her fannish and pro IDs clear.)

Oh, that is lovely. I saw a mention of it on Facebook and thought it sounded cute, but didn't read it. Knowing it's Owlet . . .

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Seemingly the cockygate kerfuffle has been resolved.

Because books.

I hope Faleena Hopkins is home stewing in her own inadequacy.

I kind of hope that her sales dwindle to nothing. And that she has to pay the other side's legal costs. And that the "Cocktales" book is a success.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jasmine Guillory had an event here last week with a couple of local literary folks, and one of the things they did was recommend other romances to read -- and since the event was put on by a local bookstore, you could buy them right there. So that's why I'm currently reading Single White Vampire, and it is a hoot! His new editor thinks he's just a creative novelist, but no! He's a 600-year-old vampire.

Tanya Huff had a series with the illegitimate son of Henry VIII was a vampire and supported himself by writing romances.
