Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Martha Wells!

Jamie Scott & Holly Duncan. (They wrote a couple of very solid SG-1 novels.)

Karen Traviss. She's written original and a bunch of apparently very good Star Wars novels.

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

Would David Schwartz count as an upcoming sci-fi writer?

He's Nebula-nominated! I think so. Pimp the Knut!

I skimmed, so apologies if this has already been posted:

Redesigned Harry Potter book covers to look like classic Penguin Books.

Lovely!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Beautiful covers.

Did the U.S. get the same 'adult edition' covers that the U.K did? I always liked these - despite being fairly cynical marketing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Nope, we just got the one set that were well-done, but definitely more aimed at the kid-lit market.

I've seen a couple of other neat-o fake book cover sites recently.
