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

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 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.

There's a short story in "Otherwere: Stories of Transformation" about a guy who turns into a were-guppy. "Going too far" by Doris Egan. Fun.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

That doesn't sound like much fun ... no insult to guppies intended. I did see a cartoon recently and it shows a full moon in the background and a pack of wolves surrounding a baby which is saying something along the lines of "yes, I was bitten by a baby".

Then there's Chuck Tingle ....

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

Selkies manifest a seal skin that must be kept somewhere safe when they're in human form. Folklore says that a human can keep a selkie against their will if they steal the skin and refuse to give it back.

So I'd assume that were-seals just transform with the lunar cycle? "It's a full moon, Imma gonna go swim and eat fish"?
