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."

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I remember Theatre Shoes and Ballet Shoes, and I know I read a third one but I can't remember what it was. Looking it up on Amazon, I found a whole slew of "Shoes" books I'd never heard of!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

LOVE Ballet Shoes!!

Is this the same book that Emma Watson is starring in a new BBC adaption?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Somewhat random question, but what's the word for a book within a book? Like, when there's a book that a character is reading, but that book only exists within the character's world, it's not a real book? I swear I know a word for this, but I can't remember it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Since it made me do a COMM: Johanna Linsay cover makeovers, from Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books.

I think the pink horsy one is my favourite.

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

Vonnie, I did enjoy this, for the record.

I made a post about His Dark Materials, if anyone's interested. The first section is not spoilery, and you can avoid the spoilery part.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, I want to thank you for pimping Kiki Strike. I picked it up on Tuesday (while buying the newest Stephenie Meyer book for the kid) and I'm loving it! So fun!

Okay, it only took me 2 weeks to reply to this, but -- you're welcome! Isn't it fun? I'm hoping there will be more.

ION, I'm reading Sarah Monette's newest book, The Mirador, and I'm finding that I can't remember very much of what happened in Melusine and The Virtu, and I don't really want to re-read them. Which is making The Mirador a little confusing.

I'm hoping there will be more.

There will be! I saw on Amazon that there is a new one coming out on Oct 2nd Yayay! Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb. I was tempted to preorder it but I have shipping anexiety (ironic since I work for a multi-national shipping company)
