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."

Punishingly Intricate

It has the worst final line of a book, EVAR.

What is it??? I'm dying to know now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Wow. Granted that I haven't read the Twilight books, only the recaps/synopses/spoilers, but still -- that shit sounds even WORSE than the Anita Blake books, which I didn't actually think was possible.

WRT the actual birth of the baby it totally makes me wonder how awful SM's experience with childbirth must have been.

Smug much?

Oh my GOD. Wow.

I mean, okay. I have never written a book, let alone a series. And I suppose I could conceive of doing what she did. But I have to believe I could come up with something better. Surely.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh deer loward. She couldn't make the tiny extra bit of effort it would take to spell it "4eva"?

I'm honestly so much more amused by snarking on this thing than I ever could've been by reading it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yeah, I read the cleolinda summary, and, you know, the pregnancy stuff was just SO over the top that it didn't even squick me. And I had a bad late pregnancy & L&D experience.
