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 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.
AFAIK, he's never been a Buffista, though perhaps he's a lurker.
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.
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.
I'll be at the library bookstore tomorrow morning from 7-9 board time, if anyone is looking for something specific.
