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."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

James fucking Holden

My favorite characters other than the Roci crew are ALWAYS the ones who can't stand Holden.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Once the last season comes out, I need to dive into those books.

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

I think I’m going to reread them all before too long. Not being able to remember the details of what happened in the previous 8 is not hampering my enjoyment of this book, but I’m appreciating its literary merit more than I expected and want to revisit past books from that standpoint and also think I would like to meet these characters again knowing where they are going.

Assuming I don’t get to the end and want to burn the universe down, which I don’t think will happen but is always a possibility

Ok, phew, satisfying ending.

I see the novellas plus a new one are being collected in one volume in March, so I think I will tentatively schedule my reread around that.

Oh wow, I'm still only about halfway in! But good to know.

Our wings are not tired.

I checked just in case, and I have read none of them! So I put them in my queue to start at the beginning rather than diving in at the end. I do like a nice long series to live with for a while.

Its amazing how much you can read in a day when you don't do anything else. No regrets

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

There's a third book coming next year, sumi! That was... quite the ending, for sure.
