Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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."

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

E-paper applications make me weak at the knees. I would love a sheet of 8.5x11 that I could print to from my laptop or desktop and then carry into, say the kitchen and have the recipe right there without having to take a computer in. Holds an image without power--that's hot.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Judith Tarr also wrote great historical Fantasy/Romances in which horses were not always the dominant element. (Though at least one had the romantic lead turned into a stallion for a large part of the novel.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The pseud she uses for those novels is Caitlin Brennan. The first in that series is The Mountain's Call.

Oh! I read the first and third of those. The first started out pretty good, and then, meh. The third got me very confused because I thought it was the second. So my judgement was kinda off on that one. I had no idea it was Judith Tarr, though--the only other series of hers I read was the "Avaryan" books, which....well, those had an ending that was seriously weird, in my mind.

Kindle has DRM, and that makes me wary. Pretty much everything that goes on it has to go through Amazon.
