Yes, Steph, even with all the spiders. Neil's descriptions of them did not trigger my instinctive "Gaaaah! Gaaaaaaah!" reaction. Unlike, say, Caitlin's descriptions of spiders in Silk or Murder of Angels.
I need to get the audiobook of it now.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That's because we('re supposed to) like them in this book, I think

The seven-legged one was kinda cute as spiders go.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Very reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale."
Dammit, I was actively looking for this one in the bookstore today. They were out. I got Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex instead.
BTW, Tim Winton's The Turning? I can recommend. A lot.

Well, if Spike had had a sandwich. Or eaten bodybuilders while the creatine was still in their bloodstream...

Actually my first impression was "gym bunny in a Dracula cape."

Because books.

Well, yeah, bulkier. But still enough of a resemblance to make me all eye-rolly.
Of course, bare chest with cape makes me roll my eyes forever all by itself.

OK, in bad cover land:
Oh dear.
And people wonder why I'm so afraid of reading any vampire romance novels.
