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.

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."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I just want good paranormal novels.

The Book of Kells
 Tea with the Black Dragon
 Twisting the Rope
Damiano, Damiano's Lute, Raphael
 The Grey Horse

and

by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, the Liaden universe. In particular:
Agent of Change
 Conflict of Honors
 Carpe Diem
 Local Custom

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

I just got my Entertainment Weekly today. Allyson's book gets its own little box at the bottom titled "Ultimate Fandom." They mention some highlights, including "Random Acts of PayPal." Pretty cool.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ooh, I'd forgotten about R.A. McAvoy - Tea with the Black Dragon is good! and the Lee/Miller Liaden books are very good, although more SF than paranormal. I liked The Tomorrow Log as well. Kim Harrison's books ... can't remember the names ... the first one's good, but I thought the following ones were less good (the main character's a witch, there are vampires, werewolves, etc.).

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Grrrr. The online version of EW doesn't have the review up yet.

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

Will someone please transcribe the EW blurb?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

EW Blurb:

This book is awesome. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have put it in our HP issue. You go buy this book now.

I imagine there are a lot more words and details, but that's TERRIFIC!

I knew I should have brought it with me! I was going to transcribe it last night, but A) I was tired and B) I figured it would be online soon anyway.

Punishingly Intricate

Will someone please transcribe the EW blurb?

Sorry! I didn't bring it with me. My best friend did just email me with this about it though:

have you seen the new Entertainment Weekly? (Or are you avoiding it like the plague because of the Harry Potter spoilage?) Anyway, there's a little thing in there about the buffista founder's new book. Awesome!
