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."

Because books.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I pre-ordered Paladin's Faith. Having a sleepless night, I saw it downloading at 12:33 am. I, of course, started on it right away. There are serious things going on, but I found some gems of humor early on. In this case, the Paladin is described as looking like he had a woodchuck latched to his jaw. Bishop Beartongue insisted he get a shave.

Well, let's hope this reading thing sticks since it looks like these suggestions may cover the next few Christmases and birthdays! Thanks, everyone.
It's funny how just as I started reading less and less my sister and niece have both taken it up with a vengeance.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Living on the Pacific Timezone has some benefits - Paladin's Faith popped up on my kindle at 9 as I was paging through my library of to be read books thinking I was not in the mood for any of them. Had a little trouble remembering who Marguerite was, and I still don't really remember why Beartongue owes her a favor but I don't think it matters. I am resenting that I have to work today instead of curling up to read.
One thing I have noticed - every time they mention the paladin's armor I have to realize anew that my mental image of them all is probably very wrong. I blame Swordheart, rightly or not, but I seem to have glommed onto more of a barbarian fighter kind of thing, (or maybe like Geralt of Rivia?) rather than suits of armor

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What does this even mean?
Gleebling: Excited overlapping fannish discourse.
Apparently there's a very spicy Zaddy.
A sexy, well dressed mature man with swag.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The only good thing about Wish was the opportunity it afforded to refer to Chris Pine as "Zaddy Maleficent."
Does Paladin's Faith have an audiobook release date? I've listened to the rest of the series and I can't switch formats now but I don't want to wait!

Having just now learned this term via the link, I'm gonna say a Zaady doesn't need rizz, no one is out of his league
Does Paladin's Faith have an audiobook release date?
From what I can find, still being determined. It's coming but can't say when.
