'Sleeper'


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

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."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Higher criticism and the lower criticism when it comes to books

Strange are the ways of LOC classification. The only thing I can think of is, "lower" means book reviews and "higher" means "100-page thesis on how this book relates to the price of tea in China."

Because, there is criticism like, "This sucks," and then there is criticism like, "This is an example of how patriarchy is not a monolithic institution."

I'm loving this zombie poem, but my god it's LONG.

Damned funny, though. I went poking about the site, and found only information about this family's cool dogs. Who are they and how do I send them squeeing feedback?

Holy cow. Sarah Zettel wrote a romance?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

It's for Harlequin's new Luna line, which I think is more fantasy with strong romantic elements.

Huh. I think of her as a strong science fiction writer, but not a particularly good romance writer. I read her first foray into fantasy, and wasn't overwhelmed with either the novel or the interpersonal elements.

Huh.

"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

I'm glad to see Run No More got the two-image cover nod - it was the most memorable of any of the covers to me.

Well, except for the anatomically confusing cover of Rumor Has It, which I'm heartened to see won worst cover honors.

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

I almost really liked Run No More, but the two covers were too distinct in style for me to love.

If I only had a brain...

The reviews for the worst are making me laugh uncontrollably. I just wish they'd put the image at the top of the page.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The suggested alternate title for "Bushwhacked Groom" made me almost choke on my lunch, I was laughing so hard.
