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

I've had that on hold at the library for like a year.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, golly, yes, there's a bit in the beginning where someone drops the name Ketterley and I sat right up.

There are also bits of A Secret History as well, I think.

Finally got around to reading The City We Became and it was really good! Although I have cousins who grew up on Staten Island, so I have complicated feelings about Aislyn's choices...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm currently reading (hard copy) Plain Bad Heroines. I'd read the reviews and thought it sounded interesting, although I misunderstood what it was about. I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. It just seems to be going nowhere - I'm not sure what the author intended it to be about, although I'm willing to go along with it and see where it ends up. Anyone else have any perspective on it?

Seemingly, T. Kingfisher's "Paladin's Grace" is on sale. If you haven't read it, it's delightful.

All of T. Kingfisher's stuff is delightful, although I have avoided the horror bcz I'm a weenie.

Yeah, the horror is too horrifying for me - I got through one (reading only in the daytime) and decided no on any others. But the Paladins are good, the variations on fairy tales I've read I've enjoyed. I think Swordheart is at or near the top of my list.

Uhura's Song, an excellent Trek novel from the Pocket Books era, is on sale for 99 cents today.

One of the like, three books I kept when I pared down my collection many years ago! So good.

Sweet! Bought.
