Buffistas

Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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."

Punishingly Intricate

I am going to get mine at my comic shop on Friday night.

Am curious about where your comic shop is! Signed, DE Native.

Mine will be at my friends' store this week. And we are getting together for HP-theme drinks and, inevitably, Guitar Hero before they are allowed to sell the books at midnight. fun!

It's in Newark proper, off of Main St., pretty near the beginning of it on the right - in a plaza that has an organic grocery store and several other stores. You can't see it from the street. It's called Captain Blue Hen, and it's awesome - they're so nice.

I love the name "Captain Blue Hen"!!!

I'm pretty sure that wasn't around when I would have been hanging out in Newark back inna day. Of course we mostly were at parties at Skid Row and at movies at the State Theatre. Oh, and at the arcade on Main St.

Art Crawl!!!

Captain Blue Hen is an awesome name.

I don't think that my comic shop carries novels. So sad.

Captain Blue Hen is an awesome name.

I know, right? He has his own seal: [link] (U. of Del. sports teams are the Fighting (Fightin'?) Blue Hens, for context to anyone not lisah, by the way. Delaware has a lot of chickens.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Ambling around teh internets, I ran across some news that Asda (UK store) will not be carrying the last Harry Potter book. The snippet of information - no idea how reliable it is - said there were disputes about money.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Quick question- I am about to make some book purchases... what is the name of AmyLiz's latest book?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Have people been to release parties for the other books? Would you recommend going to a big chain like Borders or Barnes and Noble or a small, local bookstore? I know chains are evil and all, but for the last book, the Borders atmosphere was fun and excited, and the local bookstore atmosphere was low-key and lame.

Sophia, I believe it's "Room Service"
