We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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."

“Not dead yet!”

::grins::

It's still there.

I don't recall if I said, but I really enjoyed Adios, it was great fun.

Thanks 'Suela-- that means a lot to me. I mean, everything I write is special, but Adiós was the first baby, you know? And it's defied so many different expectations. In this case, I love that the librarians recognized it.

Especially since I never saw myself as a YA author or thought I could do it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's great news, Barb. I think you were overdue for some good news.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Do not despair, Toddson. The Sharing Knife: Horizons came out in hardback this week. It was apparently available to read online for the last month.

I think that Borders won't be carrying Horizons, but that's due more to their business problems than anything to do with the book.

Excellent news, Barb!

Just dropping by to point out an Onion article that cracked me right up: Obama Disappointed Cabinet Failed To Understand His Reference To 'Savage Sword Of Conan' #24.

New Bujold? Is it a Miles book?

It's the fourth Sharing Knife book. I am not particularly enthused by the Sharing Knife series.

Miles! Miles! Miles!

Miles! Miles! Miles!

Although really I want an Ivan book. I want Ivan to meet his Cordelia. (Not that Cordelia would have had any patience with Ivan, but still--he needs to be knocked off his feet by someone that awesome. [Um, not Byerly.][Not that there's anything wrong with that.]{But I don't think Barrayar is ready for that yet.})
