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."

Question--is there any way to put together a list of authors and be notified when they have a new book out/coming out? Amazon suprisingly doesn't seem to be able to do this (or maybe I'm just a moron who can't get to the right help file). You'd think it would be easy enough, but...

meara, on Amazon, go into Your Account, then look under E-Mail Notifications for "Manage your Amazon.com Alerts."

Ah, I see. It's still not quite as intuitive/easy as you'd think, but I guess it'll do what I want! Thanks! Dunno why I couldn't find that one when I was looking at work earlier.

I always thought the Amazon interface sucked.

Barnes and Noble sent me a notice that the new Jennifer Crusie book was out. Isn't that odd?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Interesting mix.

According to a description from Jesse, I might have missed a Crusie. I need to do research.

It will either be "OMG, how clever," or very "WTF?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They have had a blog with a live feed to lj about the writing of the novel. It sounds to me like it should be interesting.
