Lydia: But you are a vampire. Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.

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."

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

From way back:

Any worries I had for Father Material were unfounded, it's really good

I finally read it, and I agree! I wanted more of the friend group ESPECIALLY PRIYA, GIVE PRIYA HER OWN BOOK GODDAMNIT but the core relationship/life stuff was all good, and I like where it left things.

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

Yes to your whitefont! I was SO RELIEVED that Oliver’s straight friends showed up after they seemed to be entirely missing from Husband Material, and integrating the two groups AND having a big climactic fight amongst them all that didn’t break down by who was originally friends with whom was GREAT but a Priya book would be wonderful.

I am still waiting for the trans artist from Luc’s bachelor party to get a book, too. I’m not sure where I got the idea that that was definitely in the works but it is solidly in my head

I think his book is planned for next year. (And I want to say that character's name is Tyler? But I might be totally making that up.)

Well, Charlaine Harris's Gunnie Rose series has irritated me a great deal. Six books of irritating me. I suppose I will read the next one if there is one, but I am not looking forward to it.

The status is NOT quo.

I gave up and didn't bother when the most recent one came out, -t. I liked the first couple well enough but have officially lost interest.

I applaud your choice. I had it sitting in a suspended hold from the library for quite a long time and finally decided to read it and I wouldn't go so far as to say I wish I had that time back but I didn't enjoy it
