Was John Scalzi a Buffistas or just an author recommended by Buffistas?
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'
'Potential'
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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I don't think he was a buffista but now that you ask I am not positive of that.
I heard Science Friday is doing a Book Club with The Fifth Season. I couldn't tell from what little I heard how interactive it will be, but, hey, a reason to read The Fifth Season if anyone needed one.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
AFAIK, he's never been a Buffista, though perhaps he's a lurker.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Has anyone read The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco? I just finished The Heartforger, the second book, and am really enjoying the series. I don't read that much YA fantasy but the worldbuilding was pretty solid. I get the sense that she pulled from a lot of different Asian cultures and legends.

I have not but now I want to. Should I get the e-book or the audiobook, you think?

I am not not an audiobook person, so I have no advice on the matter I am afraid.

OK, I will make up my own mind.

Because books.
I'm always tempted to adapt recipes from the bakery, but they're all a) metric, b) scaled, and c) enormous. I will say this, too -- watching home bakers laminate dough is all the way impressive. We have a sheeter for that (and even then it's an effort.)
I just finished Sawkill Girls (YA, Michelle LeGrande), and it sort of blew me away. It was everything I could have wanted in a story about the power of girls, the strength of girls, and girls sticking together. That said, the prose got a little purple at the end, but I couldn't even get too mad at it.

OK, Bone Witch is really absorbing (I went with ebook, ftr). I feel I have gotten multiple recs for Sawkill Girls recently, may have to check that out.

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