One last piece of Breaking Dawn snark. Spoilery if that matters to you.

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."

Wow. That's ... long-term planning, Ginger.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Wow. That's ... long-term planning, Ginger.
In this, Ginger is my hero.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Just a quick post to say that "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" won the Hugo for Best Novel.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am about 3/4 through with Halfway in the GraVe by Jeaniene Frost. New author to me, but I like it well enough to have already downloaded the sequel for reading tomorrow night.
Her main male character, Bones, is engaging, but is...well, kinda Spike with a conscience. I mean, really.
It gets off to a shaky start, but the prose and characterization firms up and it starts to move nicely. We shall see. I'm not in love, but it's certainly entertaining.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm reading cleolinda's recap of "Twilight" and I'm dying. Man, that's some funny shit.
Now I really have no interest in reading the book.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
le nubian, I have to admit that I read Cleolinda's recap of the most recently released Twilight book, and despite how back the book sounds from her recap, I put the first one on hold at the library.
I feel dirty.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it has got to be a more entertaining read AFTER cleo's recap though.

Steph, if it makes you feel any better, I own the first three Twilight books. Because I consider them comedy reading now. Brainless and sparkly comedy reading.
(oooh, I should check Half-Price Books tomorrow and see if any copies of Breaking Dawn have turned up yet.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
he he ... the Sunday Washington Post had a review of Breaking Dawn that included a synopsis of the entire series. Made some good points (at least, without reading any of the books, they sounded good to me) about the "heroine" being infantalized. Said that the last book is dreadful. Also pointed out that the childbirth scene might scare some people into lifelong abstinence.
