Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations, Knut! I still need to read that book.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

Thrive to spite them
So I ended up buying a book on impulse at the store the other day called Undone by Rachel Caine, it's spin off of the WEather Warden series (which I hadn't read) but looked like it could be read stand alone and for the most part it could.
Undone is about a Djinn who is made human, well mostly human. She has Weather Warden abilities.
Weather Wardens are people who can control the Elements and keep saving the planet, at first I thought that everyone knew about them, but it seems they are sort of secret.
Has anyone read these?
I also picked up a book by Karen Chance called Touch the Dark and then I got the other two used. The are more along the Anite Blake line of supernatural person hangs out with/gets entangled in vampires and oh she has a tragic past. Not the best books out there, but a fast read and she has some interesting concepts. Anyone read these?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I've read the first, eh, 3 or 4 Weather Warden books, and quite like them. Engaging protagonist, interesting take on magic, interestingly messy lovelife. (I think I'm slightly fonder of her vampire books - they're only tiny skinny little books, and I think they should probably be in the YA section rather than the Fantasy/Horror section, really, but they're like a little fix of plotty, darkish Buffyishness.)
I think I picked up Touch the Dark too, but couldn't get past the first page.
I just picked up the latest of Carrie Vaughn's Kitty books yesterday - Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand. She's one of my favourite writers in this genre - likeable protagonist, nice plotty plots and the love life actually reads like a grown up person's love life.
