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."

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

Toddson, thank you for the mention of Dread Nation and Deathless Divide, excellent reads!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Anyone looking for a medieval gay romance, check out The Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi. It's a good read.

I love how good-natured all the well-actuallys are in the comments.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Even the people who didn't like it were kind. Which I love. It's got just enough history to be tasty but accuracy? Not what I was looking for.

It had some good cliff hanging chapters which were wrapped up rather quickly. I crowdsourced the ebook but I will buy a copy because I enjoyed it. The author is recording the audio and I hope it turns our good. I will probably try that one, too.

I realized I still haven't named my new Kindle! Previous device names include:

  • Skindleshanks (replaced after water damage)
  • Booky McKindleface (stepped on)
  • Sir Readsalot (cheapo backup Kindle, in a drawer somewhere)

I feel like I pretty much peaked with Skindleshanks and now I'm at a loss.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Another book set in Scotland, My Heart's in the Highlands. Reviewer liked it a lot.

Cruel to be Kindle?

I thought that it might have a certain appeal to some of the Buffistas.
