Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nineâ€”cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

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

Surely everyone will love the book and Simon as much as I do?

They'd BETTER.

I'll be diving into Hell's Heart next. Latter-day Alexis Hall is not my favorite flavor of Alexis Hall and it's been ages since I last read Moby Dick, but I retain high hopes that I will enjoy it.

There is a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend reference on page freaking ONE?!?!! Okay I already love this book.

(I paused the audiobook to come post that.)

This narrator is so good at voices I thought for a second this was a full cast recording. (I am very relieved that it's not.)

Has anyone read Book of Love? Some folks are saying it's a good one for Buffy fans. Haven't picked it up yet but am wondering if anyone else has.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I did, Kat, and it was ... fine? It's long and not super plotty, so I got bogged down a bit, but once I switched to audio I enjoyed it better. I usually love Kelly Link but I think she's a better short story writer than novelist.

Dang! I wish I had checked back before I bought it... maybe after I read it, it will migrate to my classroom library.

Other books purchased today: Work Won't Love You Back and Lauren Groff's The Vaster Wilds.

I liked The Book of Love more than I expected to. I don’t actually love Link’s short stories that I’ve read, but Book of Love really grew on me as I read it.
