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.
Poor Buffy. Your life resists all things average.

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."

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

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.

An "s" at the beginning of a line (and the quick-edit link is always above the posting box should you forget).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Pity the iPhone users!
Alas, the poor iPhone users, bereft of the ability to highlight text!

Thanks, amych! (I have a bad habit of not seeing things that are always there.)

My daughter loved the first 2 Twilight books, and we had to pre-order the 3rd when it came out. She was 14/15 when they came out, so right in the target demographic and all her friends loved them too. They spent hours discussing them.
She begged me to read the first 2, which I did. They weren't my cuppa, but eh? they were OK. Lots of teen angst and twu wuv. She didn't like the end of the 3rd one and told me that it was not what she was looking for - dunno what she didn't like. When I asked if she wanted to get the new one she said "nope I'm reading Neverwhere instead". Now that I see what this one is about, I'm thinking that her choice was the right one.
