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."

Also, check Naomi's LJ: she's going on a book tour! She's going to two stores in the Bay Area, in fact: Borderlands and Dark Carnival, in late July.
She's coming to Seattle, wheee!

Speaking of author tours (NO, not one for me): who can I sweet-talk into going to the Pickerington OH B&N on the 28th of June? My favorite YA author, Ellen Schreiber is going to be there, and I want to get a signed book.

BBC news item in which an excerpt from the Harry Potter pre-quel that was recently sold at auction is read. And in August a book is coming out that contains all the stories that were auctioned (includes stories from Neil Gaiman and Doris Lessing.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Nope, Sumi, you got it right -- Gaiman is Neil.

Hee. That would amuse. . . but no, I don't think that's what's going on.
(But the Rowling story apparently involves James and Sirius.)
