Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

Closed Threads

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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

And suddenly "There's a Bimbo on the cover of my book" (filk by Maya Kaathryn Bonhoff) is going through my head....

Beyond bimbo. Mave of Connacht in pink armour, having her back licked by a raven-haired studly guy who apparently is supposed to be Connal of Ulster. So much for the Cycles of Oisin - they gave it a bodice ripper cover. I have nothing against bodice rippers, even though I don't read them, but the point is, the book wasn't a bodice ripper.

Around the house, the Bantam cover is affectionately-derisively known as Pink Sonia.

Ooh! Full lyrics, pretty please?

Pink Sonia. Hahahahaha. Must click over to Amazon and see this for myself.

Katerina, it's here.

Scroll down the page to Fire Queen. What you can't tell onscreen is that the front cover is a two part; the outer is a frame, which lifts to reveal the full Pink Sonia horror within.

Pink armour. I kid you not.

Thirty. thousand. dollars. I saw the cover and thought I ought to spend thirty nine cents for a bullet to shoot the artist with....

Pink Sonia! Tee hee hee. You simply must add a full image of thirty! THOUSAND! dollars!!! worth of pink armour to your site. I had no idea that being a crap cover artist could pay so well.

(and now I'm jealous)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, that's the cover I got when I got your book from the library.

I was...startled.

Erin, you think *you* were startled? The book's not a romance, goddamnit. There's a love story, but that cover....

Thing is, that damned thing sold 75,000 copies. It was up at the checkout counter at Safeway. SOMEONE must have liked that cover.

Peoples is weird.

Well, by the time I got to it, it's been read so many time that Pink Sonia fell out into my hands.

So there's that, at least.

(snickering at the thought of the Fall of Pink Sonia)

Sorry to say, I gave her back to the library so they could rebind. I'm overcome with remorse.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Unfortunately, I couldn't find I link to the lyrics of "There's a bimbo..." online, and I'd rather not post someone else's lyrics without their permission.

Sorry about that.
