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."

not your mom's socks.

Unrelatedly I've been thinking of sharing the reading lists from the genre classes I'm teaching... if anyone's interested?

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

I would be extremely interested in a buffista's reading lists.

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

I'd be very interested.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I saw that Tor is offering a free sampler of some of their books. I think it may just be excerpts from the books, but it's free reading material.

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

I started the audiobook for Side Jobs today.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I still haven't read Side Jobs! There's been such a long delay for "Peace Talks" that I sort of mentally paused my Dresden love to read a chunk of it later, together, in preparation for PT.

Because books.

esse, your tag is the key to who you are? Because I'm easily confused. :-)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think it's pronounced the same as her old name.

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

(Remove "to the" in their tag and you'll get their old board name.)

Edited for pronouns. :)

Yes, exactly. ;)
