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."

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

I can't be the only one who clicked alllllllllll the buttons?

(I know y'all. I'm not.)

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

I didn't, because I was on my phone, but now I'm on a laptop, so...

Gold star, Consuela! I did not but I felt bad about cheating.

I'm reading the new Louise Penny and some of the interpersonal relationships/conflicts are stressing me out. There's a reference to something that happened in a previous book that I, of course, do not remember because my memory is for shit and googling is not bringing up a helpful fandom maintained wiki I can look it up in! Sci-fi and fantasy have really spoiled me

Hey. New board.

I apparently unsubscribed accidentally and missed like two months of this thread. Oops.

I just discovered a new October Daye book on my kindle I forgot I preordered! That's exciting.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I love it when that happens. I mark it in my ledger when I order, so it's like hey, free book by an author I love when the book appears.

I"m reading that series in iBook format (Apple Books? Whatever they call it) and they send me a helpful email when the pre-order becomes available and that is often around 9 pm my time, just in time for me to start reading before bed and stay up too late reading...it's a pretty sweet set up, really

Exciting developments in this one! It's actually inspired me to start rereading in internal chronological order (including short stories when I already have them or can find them easily) and I just got up to Rosemary and Rue. I'm dithering about whether to listen to the audiobook or read the e-book. I think I want to listen but I am still listening to Sense and Sensibility so I will probably finish that first - the Dashwood girls' love lives just got interesting

Oh is there a new one out now? I'll have to go look....I'm cheap though, so will likely wait for the library. Or at least paperback prices.
