Oh man. I didn't know she was 92! I haven't read a whole bunch of her stuff, her daughter's books are more to my taste, but I have read a few and they were certainly very good just not my particular jam. And I've very much enjoyed her interviews.

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."

Thrive to spite them
I finally read Shards of Honor . I had never read the Vorkosigan Saga before, it had been on my to read list but the libraries I had access didn't have it and I didn't want to buy it and then not like it.
I don't know really anything about the series except a lot of people really like it. The book felt like it covered ground that should have been in 2 books at least and the epilogue confused the hell out of me. Seriously I have no idea what was going on. And there was one line about hermaphrodites that was really jarring . I know the internal chronology is different than the published so I went ahead and requested the prequel to Shards but I ahd to make an ILL request for Barrayar so who knows when or if I'll get that and will be able to read it.

I started the second book of the Bloggess's book club, American Sherlock, and, so far, I find it fascinating.

I take all the credit. If I hadn't told her our family can't carry a tune, and she needed to stop singing, she probably would never have started to write, instead. *sniff*

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, wow! Congratulations!

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