I thought the fourth Novik was better than the second or third but not as good as the first.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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."

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.

The status is NOT quo.
Yes! I read Inkheart yesterday and really enjoyed it. I also found out that the author is a parent at the school where I teach. Her daughter is...a rising senior? Or wait, maybe she just graduated. Anyway, small world. I hope the movie is good. It really could be great if it had the right director, I think.

Brendan Fraser's the father, right? And Andy Serkis is Capricorn?
I thought Cornelia Funke was German...she lives in the US now?

Yep. In LA.

According to imdb Fraser was the author's original choice for that character.

Seconding Susan W: the fourth Temeraire was better than the middle two. She takes great strides away from "our" history in that one, and really (I think) opens up the universe.
Undead!Darcy, Juliana? Hee! That play sounds like a kick.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Aaaaugh!
Just found out that Janet Kagan died back in March. [link]
Lyme disease (and emphysema) has robbed us of a great storyteller.

Huh. Powell's just sent me a review of a really interesting-looking book: Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity by Julia Serano. Has anyone read it?
