Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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

I started the "Creative Types" romance series by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm. The first book is about a TV writer and his PA who is a secretly a big name fanfic author - it's not quite the gonzo celebration of fandom that Spoiler Alert is, but it's pretty fun. And I didn't realize until maybe halfway through that the TV show in question is centered on a vampire, so I thought I might mention that here in case it was of interest to anyone else

I kind of want to see the show (called Leeches, which is very cute, right?) - not as much as I'd like to watch Sanctuary Moon, but it does sound like the kind of thing I would at least check out

Because books.

I accidentally bought the first five books in the Temeraire series (I meant to buy only the first one for $1.99 -- the dangers of Distracted Shopping and Amazon's bevy of buttons to click) so ... I hope I like them? I loved the author's Sam and Dean fanfic so much...but I haven't had as much luck with some of her original fiction.

Our wings are not tired.

I really enjoyed the Temeraire series! I listened to the audio and could listen again.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think you could probably return them if you don't like them.

I love the whole Temeraire series and probably need to reread soon.

I liked this series - fun but not the most memorable? Joanna Chambers is one of those authors I always *almost* love.

Yeah, that sounds right. I was trying to recall what I liked about the first thing of hers I read and I couldn’t remember anything except that I did like it.

I have a shiny new Cat Sebastian burning a hole in my Kindle and yet I keep choosing to read KU trash instead so I won't have to be finished with the Cat Sebastian book and not have it to look forward to anymore.

Oh, I know that game.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have that on hold at the library!
