'Origin'
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 thought I had, but on checking, I read something similar by Kelly Armstrong. Which was fine, if kind of fluffy.
But I'm hugely entertained that the teaser quote from the book on Amazon's site for The Good, The Bad, and The Undead is the following:
"I hitched the canvas strap holding the watering canister higher up on my shoulder and stretched to get the nozzle into the hanging plant...
Sounds riveting.
HA!
I've read the Armstrong books, too, and they're pretty "eh."
But at least I could finish them. The Harrison books....NSM.
I wanted to like them. But I don't.
Likewise. Read the first, couldn't finish the second.
That's exactly where I am. It's been on my nightstand for 3 days and I find myself re-reading 2 year old issues of Self instead.
NOT a good sign. . .
I loves me some Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books.
I saw a tiny b&w version of that first cover in an ad in Romantic Times. I snarked even then, but I had no idea how bad it was in its full-size, full-color glory.
I finished my other in-transit book in the Dulles airport last night and started reading Bell, Book and Murder by Rosemary Edghill on Jilli's rec. I'm liking it a lot.
Anyone read the Kim Harrison books, Dead Witch Walking and the like?
I've read Dead Witch Walking, and I'm halfway through The Good, the Bad, and the Undead. I'm entertained by them, and I like them slightly better than any of the Anita Blake books, but that's about it.

Oh yay! I'm glad you like it.
What. the. fuck.
At least one TSA screener is forbidding passengers to carry more than 2 books in carry-on luggage.
Wait there was a limit of 4 books? For what reason? What possible reason?
