I just got Knut's book delivered right to my hot little hands!
Now the challenge will be to not read it until I go on vacation next week...
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

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."

Sweet! I pre-ordered it, but for some reason, it hasn't shipped yet.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Do we have a spoiler policy for this thread? I'm not planning to read the new Novik right away because I've decided to avoid anything in the same ballpark as the WIP until it's finished and polished...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Re the Novik books - I loved the first, liked the second, didn't finish the third, and haven't bought the fourth (or fifth). Do they get better? I was kind of disappointed in the third one.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Pride and Succubus, "combines the longing and whimsy of Jane Austen romance with the blood thirst of vampires."
I chatted with the author of the play last Friday - she's hilarious, and her description of trying to write the undead!Darcy scene had me in stitches. I wish I could audition!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I preordered Knut's but stupidly stuck it in the same order as the Mad Men DVD's (which won't be out until the first week of July). I'll probably end up getting another copy at the actual bookstore. I'll pretend it's for lending out, but it's really for WANT TO READ KNOW and it's too late to change the pre-order without hassle and shipping charges.

I thought the fourth Novik was better than the second or third but not as good as the first.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've finished Poisonwood. Overall I felt like the first half of the book plodded and the second half rushed. Once the girls grew up I would have eaten up many more stories about their lives but all we got were bits and pieces.
I'm off to the library for ...had to look it up, hey did we know they're making a movie? Inkheart.
