Maybe we could do Caffe Urth Melrose this weekend? I can splurge on that, I think.

Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Might not be able to do it this weekend. Multiple out of towners and a possible freelance client meeting. Next weekend too late?

I should be working on my own freelance project this weekend (my sister is a harsh taskmaster) so next is better.
Wait--do I need to give you anything for this visitor?

Because books.
Despite this chick not getting the allure of slash and/or fic, this review of a new m/m erotic romance (historical, too!) is pretty funny.
What's funnier is I had read a review of this same romance at All About Books, and the reviewer really liked it. She didn't, however, include any passages from it like this other blogger did, and I'm sort of blinking at the sheer purple.

Not unless you'd like to meet my cousin, but at 30, he might be too old for you. ;-D

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Has anyone read this book that Guilermo Del Toro co-wrote? It's the first book in a trilogy about vampires (that are actually the bad guys). I read the first few pages today, and it looks interesting.

Salon had a pretty good review of it earlier this week.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
EW gave it a middling review, saying it was about as good as your standard thriller but not as great as you'd expect from Del Toro's involvement.

My editor sent me a copy yesterday! I haven't started reading it yet.

Jilli, let me know what you think. I am intrigued so far, but I have only gotten through the first section which seems to be leading up to the action.
