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've started working at the library bookstore again. So, if there is anything people are looking for leave me a message here or at my profile address, and I'll look next time I'm there.
I scored a hardcover edition of Charlotte's Web for ltc today, as well as a bunch of things for myself.

The first book I ever bought (excluding the Scholastic ordering at school) was from a Friends of the Library sale I ran into at Dadeland Mall. I must've read that book a dozen times.

Aurelia, I suggest The Busses are a Comin. Bonus, it's written by one of my high school history teachers!
My favorite stand alone KJC book is Wanted: A Gentleman. I actually found it in our library system! Having read all of her books, I can say she's got such incredible range within her historical contexts.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Cashmere, that's a good one! Although I think my favorites may still be the Magpie Lord series.

I picked up Charm Offensive last week. It’s a quirky, queer romance with lines like this:
He’s not entirely sure what you’re supposed to do when you discover your sort-of friend who you also like to kiss might have clinical depression, but he figures he could start by talking to Dev.
It’s, dare I say, charming?

aurelia, for future reference: Codename Badass. I bought this after reading the Kirkus review but haven’t read it yet.

I think the 1920s trilogy that starts with Slippery Creatures is my favorite KJC. But that could be just that it's the most recent one I've read. I love the time period and the fact that it's one of KJC's m/m stories that have real, vibrant female characters in them, too.

On the recs here I'm reading Slippery Creatures right now and loving it very much. So thank you!!
I saw that CS Pascat has a new series in print. Anybody read it, or know anything about it?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
From a conversation with Ken re: Ilona Andrews' "Sweep of the Blade", from The Innkeeper Chronicles:
[S]ometimes you just want to live in a world where you can win the respect and affection of your potential vampiric MIL with trade negotiations, a properly bloody melee and an adorable half-vampire five-year-old.
