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."
Update: I *do* like the characters. A LOT.
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.
am suffering from "But if I read it I won't have it to look forward to anymore!" syndrome.
I know this is off topic but I have to say how much this is me wrt Umbrella Academy right now!

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.
New Umbrella Academy is out?? Yay.
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!

OMG, I want every single pastry in that book.

Curious to know when this happened for you because I'm in Bordeaux and...I still don't like them very much. Maybe it's the narrator? I can't tell, but something about this book isn't clicking for me.
It was definitely gradual and slow for me. Trying to see if I can look at the table of contents and remember...ok, it was certainly after Bordeaux. Maybe around San Sebastien? Maybe not until the POV switch? I remember being impatient to get the other side of the story, for sure, but I think I was liking the characters more before that happened.
I was also irritated with some of the line readings early on? And that eventually went away, not sure if I got used to whatever they were doing with them or if they got more like I wanted them to be or what.
A little tempted to listen to it again and see how the experience changes with knowing everyone going in, but I have started re-reading Anne Rice so that's gonna keep me busy for a while (I haven't decided how far I want to go, I stopped with The Body Thief or Memnoch the Devil (I honestly can not figure out if I read Memnoch the Devil or not) the first time around but I'm kind of intrigued by Atlantis)
Oooh I've been wanting to do an Anne Rice Vampires reread too, at least up to Body Thief, after seeing the S3 teaser.
