No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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 had listened to it but I bought the e-book just now also because $2. Sequel in a month!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've been meaning to read that, so I'm off to buy it!

I'm reading Casey McQuiston's new book (The Pairing), and I can't decide if I like the characters or not. Also, it's making me very, very hungry AND making me want to take a food and wine tour of Europe.

Ooh, I had been waiting for that but it slipped my mind. Sweet, I still have some mystery Libro credits I can use to get it!

Update: I *do* like the characters. A LOT.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have it waiting on Kindle and audio, but am suffering from "But if I read it I won't have it to look forward to anymore!" syndrome.

Oh good! I read the sample and was not sure how I felt about it, so that makes me feel better. I will not be able to listen to it until I finish Sorceress, though. I don't think switching between those two would go well. And I'm not even halfway through The Last Murder at the End of the World and I'm a year behind on the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction! Ack!

Final update: okay, that was DELIGHTFUL. And now I desperately want to take a food/wine tour of Europe.
