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."
Ooh, Kat I'll be interested to hear your thoughts after you read it!!
Another one just came in that I'm looking forward to and hoping will be good, •"book of essie", about a Duggar-like family with a reality tv show whose daughter gets pregnant as an unwed teen.
Deborah Harkness's new book was at the library for me so that's next.
I read The Nanny and I'd give it a pass. But Kiss Quotient was pretty good.
Yeah, I had already read Kiss Quotient and enjoyed it. Looking forward to her next book
Read "Book of Essie"—it was slightly different than expected, but I liked it a lot. The main character was maybe a little treacly, and some of it might be a bit of liberal wish fulfillment about a Duggar-like family. But I enjoyed the twists and turns.
I heard that a new Buffyverse novel was coming out last week and put a hold on it - expecting that I would get it sometime in the next six months: but I got it right away!
It's called Slayer by Kiersten White and I'm enjoying it so far.
In other Whedonverse news: picked up the new Firefly novel Big Damn Hero. So far it's enjoyable.
Sumi, no lie -- I just got a notice today from my library that Slayer is ready for me to pick up!
So fast!
Not sure if this is literary, but author Sherilyn Kenyon is charging her husband (soon to be ex-husband) and his assistant with poisoning her. She was weak, her teeth were breaking, her bones breaking with light pressure ... and on being tested her blood had heavy concentrations of metals (tin, lithium, thorium, I believe).
sj posted about that on Facebook! Craziness. Her husband sounds positively psychopathic.
It also surprises me that the authors I follow on Twitter don't seem to be talking about it at all.
