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."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

The first book that comes to mind is Hey Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka. It's a graphic* memoir about his childhood as the son of a mom who was addicted to drugs. He lived with his grandparents for most of his childhood but his mom figures pretty heavily in the story. No romance aspect that I recall.

*graphic as in comics, not sex or violence

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

New Erin Morgenstern novel!!!! The Starless Sea

I really want to start reading it but I don't want to have to stop reading it to, like, work and whatnot so I am hesitating at the Table of Contents

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm reading Seanan McGuire's "Laughter at the Academy" - it's a collection of short stories. One I'd read before but, so far, the rest have been new to me.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I was really on track to finish my reading goal this year, and then this month I have started a zillion books and haven't been able to finish anything, and they're things I really want to read but I find myself zoning out and having no idea what I just read or falling asleep. At least audiobooks are still working for me.

It's new ... I'd pre-ordered it, forgot its release date and then, one day, it was there! (I got it in e-book format ... not sure if it's in print) Also, recently re-read "Into the Drowning Deep" ... and still enjoyed it. Wasn't quite as scary, since I knew how it would end.

That's exactly how I got The Starless Sea. Living in the future

I love when that happens!

I just got Starless Sea from the library this AM and I'm about 25% of the way through.

After I posted in here my signed copy of The Starless Sea arrived with a bonus keychain! I may try to start it tonight.
