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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Fay, I've been reading Charlaine Harris for ... well, quite a while. I liked the Lily Bard/Shakespeare series quite a lot. I think her series kind of run out after five books - I found the Aurora Teagarden ones kind of cloying after that point and I've given up on the Sookie Stackhouse ones. I'm enjoying the Grave series, although the incest overtones haven't squicked me. She also did an earlier, non-series, one called A Secret Rage that I thought was good - with the popularity of her more recent books they seem to be reprinting her older ones.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ooh ooh ooh! I would take The Book Thief, Middlesex, and copies of yours!

“Not dead yet!”
Um, whoops?
And oddly, those are two of the few books on that list that I actually bought. Most of those have been freebies from conferences.

I'll split 'em with you, P-C -- pick whichever of the two you want. But I still want Barb's books!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'd like to put in for Eat, Pray, Love and the Jennifer Crusie & Bob Mayer books. I already own your books! If you end up with extra contemporary or historical romances, my aunt in the nursing home goes through them like M&Ms. I'd be glad to pay postage.
