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."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I finished the Mediator series before beginning it.

That's a neat trick. Probably saves a lot of time.

Hey. New board.

You have no idea. Costs, though. (Pronouns suck.)

Gris, speaking of YA, have you tried "I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You"? It was very cute. There's a sequel now too, which I also enjoyed.

Hey. New board.

I haven't, meara. Thanks for the rec, though. It's not currently kindle-able unfortunately, but I'll look for it next time I'm in B&N.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

So I avoided LibraryThing when it was really big here. And What happens, my library gets all into this web 2.0 stuff - and as part of learning 2.0 - they want us to play with LibraryThing. Obsession here I come. (egb63 on LibraryThing, just like my blog)

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.

He's unearthly beautiful, has superhuman strength, his eyes change color, and the book deliberately takes place in a small Washington town with the most rainfall of any city in the U.S.

If they mean hours of rain, rather than inches of rain, that would be Olympia. Though (even excluding Alaska and 20 days of night) there may another U.S. town that has the fewer hours of direct sun due fog and dark clouds without rain.

They're fun for a while, but get old fast.

OMG this is the sparkly book, amirite? Where the vampires turn out to fluoresce under starlight?

Under sunlight, yep.

I ended up reading all three of them. They're mindless fun, and the first book is the weakest of the lot.

It's called "Forks" or some such craziness but I think it is not real.
