Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

Hey. New board.

Seriously, and i think we're up to 8 in Incryptid, and she's written, what, four other shorter series? Feed, Pandemic (?), the one with the children who go through doors, Sparrow Road and it's sequel. I'm probably even missing some.

I'm 37. When I was 21, I was still a beta reader for her (for two books that have never been published and were also great). Would have been published for the first time a couple years later. That tracks with one Toby book a year. But damn, that's about 2.5 books a year on average.

Eta I didn't even remember the awesome ones with the fairy tale detective service, the Velveteen books, etc. Jesus she is prolific.

Eta2: okay I looked it up. 48 books published since 2009. So that's actually a bit over 4.5 books published per year on average. I can't even. She clearly had a Toby backlog before getting a publishing deal because the first five were published on a twice a year schedule, March and September. Since then it's been once a year in September, with Incryptid taking the March spot.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I had to re-read the entire NewsFlesh trilogy when this pandemic hit, it's just so spot-on. Can't wait until we have quick viral testing devices like in that series. I also loved the Parasite/Symbiosis series, but not quite as much as the NewsFlesh series.

WAYWARD CHILDREN WAYWARD CHILDREN WAYWARD CHILDREN.

Ahem. My favorite of her series, gosh, I wonder why.

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

The next Wayward Children will be Book 6. Her output is really quite implausible.

That was #5, you may be all caught up until January. Not exactly a read them in order sort of series, necessarily, or a keep them in order in my head sort of series, certainly...even my phone is confused, it won't file In An Absent Dream with the rest for reasons of its own...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I just got offered a free ebook of a paranormal gay romance novel about a helicopter pilot and a were-seal. The first in a series!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What's the difference between a were-seal and a selkie?

I would guess selkies are more in control of which form they take than were-seals but I am unfamiliar with Matt's series so I could be very wrong. I am enjoying the thought of were-seals baying at the full moon, though.

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

God I love romance microgenres.
