Heck, I not only don't buy her at all, I've stopped reading her. Unless something interesting happens to--crap, what's his name, the young werewolf who will occasionally call Anita an idiot to her face.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

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."

If I only had a brain...
Oh, I'm sure Anita sleeps with him, but that's not what I call interesting.

I'm beginning to wonder if Obsidian Butterfly was ghost-written or just an old manuscript left over from the early days, when she remembered plot is good.
that's not what I call interesting
Agreed.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
If she writes another book like Obsidian Butterfly, with Anita and Edward and no sex and no damned werewolves and weremonkeys and weresquirrels -- then I'll read it. But otherwise -- ugh.
t edit Heh. Obsidian Butterfly x-post.

Up with the sun
Is the latest Merry book the third, or has she turned out a fourth one? I flipped through the third one in a bookstore and noticed that it was 90 percent boring sex, so i didn't buy it.

Heh. I noticed that new Merry book out in the bookstore the other day and picked it up....and put it back down. Glad to hear it was the right thing to do! :)
My fave used bookstore in the DC area is in Gaithersburg--one of those "it's cramped and crowded and you keep going around a corner and finding out that there's a whole other room!"

The Book Alcove!
Er, I assume? Because if there's another one out here, I need to know about it immediately.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Heh...the Book Alcove is very close to where I live. It's cool, and I've wandered around there a few times.

Yeah, Book Alcove. Sorry--when I was writing that, I'd forgotten the name! I figured saying "tucked behind the pho place, and they build bookshelves" probably wasn't needed.
Is it just me, or are there fewer used bookstores than there used to be, though?
