Well, shoot, I'm not getting the 99 cent deal. Boo.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I got the Black Swan Lane book (when it was on sale), but haven't started it yet. I enjoyed the Lady Julia books up to a point, the Lady Darby ones less so. I HAVE started "Deathless Divide" - set in an AU America, antebellum with slavery but also zombies. The protagonist is a young woman sent off from her home plantation to a school to teach her to fight zombies so she can be sold as a protector for a white woman. I've barely started it, so I don't know quite where it's going ... but ZOMBIES.

Oh, Toddson, is that the sequel to Dread Nation by Justina Ireland? That was really creative and horrifying.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It is.

This may or may not be the place for it, but there seems to be a kickstarter for The Children's Illustrated Clausewitz. Although I think many children are born knowing the essentials.

So, I didn't really mean to read The Heir Affair in 24 hours but here we are. It's fun! Partly for the nostalgia, if that's the right word, for a world in which Royal Family sex scandals would be big news. I went into it thinking it'd be a rom-com but it's more of a soap opera

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I was thinking I had read this but when I went to Goodreads to look it up, it wasn't at all familiar. Then I realized I'm thinking of The Eyre Affair, which is not the same thing at all. So weird that I managed to fall victim to a homonym, even though the words are written!
