This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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 a ton of books on sale right now on audible.

Oh! I'll have to look. I've really been enjoying audible.

No one ask me what I spent or how many unread audiobooks I already have.

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

I tell myself that if I stock up now I will buy less later but it's not true

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The unread books in my Kindle and Kobo apps are in the corner with your unread audiobooks, judging us.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I also have a huge list of unread kindle books and unread physical books. Teacup has a ton of unread books as well and a couple dozen unread kindle books. She will devour one series at a time. Her current series is out of print and not available on kindle. So, I have to keep looking around for them.

I have a deep love of a good series. When I like the characters I just want more and more.

I'm in one series in audiobooks and another in e-books right now myself. And I bought the first 8 books in another series as they were packaged up cheap and I actually thought that was the whole series, and then as I was checking out got offered the next 4 for not too much more money so I thought that would finish it off but it turns out that there are another 6 after that and now I don't even want to start reading it because, really, 18 books hanging over me is too much (except that I am actively awaiting the 20th book in another series but they weren't all looming when I started so it's different...)

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

I'm less than 2 hours from the end of Paladin's Faith and I'm so worried about everyone and yet somehow I have to be AT WORK NOW??

(No reassuring spoilers please, I'm actually quite enjoying the extremely tense ambiguity of it all.)

(OMG, SHANE.)

(OMG, EVERYONE.)

Oh, that is totally unreasonable of work!
