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."

I would also recommend Dragon Bones and Dragon Blood, which are "traditional" fantasy.

While I enjoyed reading Dragon Bones and Dragon Blood, I feel I should mention that both books had enough rape, threat of rape, and previously raped characters (male and female) that I started wondering about the author.

I started wondering about the author.

That reminds me of starting the "Sword of Truth" series and starting to wonder about the author of that. It seemed to really go to a BDSM and rape place and I had to give up on the series.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The TV series had the same effect on me.

I had no idea there was a TV series. It seems improbable due to the aforementioned BDSM and rape, but apparently not.

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

Is the series Legend of the Seeker?

Yes.

You would think.

Legend of the Seeker appeared in my "Recommended for you" insta-queue on Netflix. I guffawed loudly and clicked "NOT INTERESTED".

Zoinks.

I tried watching it. Didn't get as far as much bondage or BDSM--it just struck me as pretty third rate. But Fay did link to a hilarious clip with our hero tied up and being threatened with an electric dildo.

Thrive to spite them

I just finished reading the latest from the Mercy Thompson series. I got in from the library since it's hard back, but I'll probably get it in paperback when it comes out.

I really like the series, I like that she's okay with who she is and she doesn't have them woe is me with my tragic past that haunts me still. I mean her past isn't all happy but it's not My Blonde StepMother Hates Me and Everyone Left Me to Cry Alone When My Mother Died And my Fiance Rejected Me of Anita Blake or the uncomfortable ness with her powers like Sookie.

Plus the world building is cool and I like how the fae are written.

oh man! They made a twilight dildo. Obviously the link is NSFW!

The copy?

Updated by popular request... Yes the The Vamp retains hot and cold temperature. Toss it in the fridge for that authentic experience.

JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN! Who doesn't love those dark and mysterious vamps on the screen and in the books we all thumb through lustfully? That's what we thought. For those of us who fantasize about being spellbound and tantalized by the forbidden comes The Vamp. We promise this vamp won't be the only thing coming for you in the night.

The Vamp is a realistic form dildo based appropriately on our Sire's design but with a deathly pale flesh tone reminiscent of the new moon's glow. Since it's a Tantus toy, The Vamp is made from Tantus' own unique blend of 100% Ultra-Premium Silicone. Don't be surprised if this toy seduces you, its long sleek shaft and deliciously ridged head calling to you in the twilight. But don't save this for just nocturnal escapades, try taking our Vamp out in the sunlight and watch him sparkle.

The Vamp is a web only exclusive offering through TantusInc.com for $39.99. We are currently taking pre-orders for this one of a kind toy. We will be shipping them first come first serve starting 9/1/09. Don't let this eclipse pass into the breaking dawn, place your order today.

It kills me that they get all of the titles of her books in the copy!
