I did not see most of it coming. LOVED.
I have read Hendrix and he's wonderful. Particularly liked I Southern Book Club.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have read two Hendrix where I loved the concept but hated the execution of it.

Amy, I finished the book last night. I saw most of it coming, but there were a few surprises.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
With the stuff of his that I've read (which I think is just Horrorstor and How to Sell a Haunted House), it works for me about 90%. Not quite a home run, but enough that several times during Haunted House, I said out loud, "Holy shit."

Dana, yeah, Haunted House had some wild stuff. I think My Best Friend's Exorcism and Southern Book Club are two of the best.
Thanks, sj! There was one of hers I stopped reading because it freaked me out too much (The Hollow Places) but I really liked her writing! I'll pick up ...Good Bones from the library.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hollow Places is definitely her scariest book, imho.
I read Horrorstor and The Final Girls Support group. I loved all the chapter headings and such with Horrorstor, but the story itself didn’t scare me. FGSG just made me think he should write less female characters because there was a lot of cringe there.

I recently finished T. Kingfisher's House With Good Bones - it got kind of scary at some points, but not horrifying (in that I could read it in the evening and be able to sleep afterwards). I didn't love it, but liked it. Want more gnoles and continue the story of the Paladins of the Saint of Steel.

Toddson, according to her Twitter feed the next book in the Paladins series should be out later in the year. Nothing so specific as a publication date, however. link
