Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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."

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Has anyone read Sue Monk Kidd's new book, The Mermaid Chair?

No, but she was on the Leonard Lopate show yesterday talking about it, & will be at the Union Square Barnes & Noble tonight, so if the interview convinces you to buy it you can get Mom an autographed copy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. The prospect of an autographed copy is what made me even consider it.

If I only had a brain...

More Photoshopped romance covers. I love the new titles a lot.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Are those new? I know I've seen (and loved) Uh, Honey, whose Hat Is That? before.

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

The top half is new, and they cite the inspirations, Matt, which includes your Hat one.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I don't think they're new--I think one of the popular blogs just noticed and linked to the newer ones from a couple weeks ago yesterday, so they're getting noticed more.

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

Anyone read the Kim Harrison books, Dead Witch Walking and the like?

My sister lent them to me (she's got an ARC for the 3rd one) and I just...can't get into them. The characters seem flat, and the plots feel very retconned.

I wanted to like them. But I don't.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Skimmed in mall while waiting for haircut. Agree with your evaluation.

If you want someon who does great 20th century/21st century witchery - Nina K. Hoffman. Hmm more shamanism than witchcraft -but marvelous characters and world building in any case.
