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."

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I know it's still off topic, but I only watched the first episode tonight because I don't want it to be over and there are only 6 episodes dang it.

The Pairing has me all verklempt. Good stuff. I don’t know if I need a full tour, but I could certainly go for some pastries and cocktails!
