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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.
Howdy!
You know, books make excellent gifts, too. (I'm sure Allyson, Hec and Hayden will back me up on this.) BUT NO PRESSURE.

Yeah, I wish there was a Buffista Book Bulk Order thang!
Signed, still has multiple copies of Swordfishtrombones that I haven't wrapped, needs to give another Vampire People book as a gift, and don't get me started on the REST of the stack.

Knut! I do not know you
The FAQ tells you all you need to know.
(Except for that book-write-y thing....)

Folks, has anyone here read Sunshine by Robin McKinley? NPR just discussed this book and recommended it, but the commenters on Amazon seem more mixed. I read Robin's much earlier book when I was a teenager Beauty and it is one of my favorite books of all time. Her (re)telling of "beauty and the beast" was just wonderful.
So if Sunshine is close to being that good, I'm on board.
(BTW, I did a search of this thread and found the book in 2 posts. Typo Boy seemed to like it)

Yeah definitely liked Sunshine. Been a while, so memory is fading. I think I liked it best of the McKinley books, but that is compared to Blue Sword, not Beauty. I am starting to worry a bit about my memory, because I know I read Beauty, and I can't remember anything about it.

Sunshine is fantastic. It's one of the books I find myself re-reading every year.
