Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

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'm doing this thing right now called 5 ft Shelf. Basicallt, you create this ideal 5 foot shelf of books that you love/think are ultimate. You can create mini shelves for movie or music.

It's pretty new but looks like a total 'Ffista thing.

(I'm there under captain mordinary, building a shelf.)

Borders: All Twilight, all the time.

Shocking. I can't think of the last time I was in Borders. Wait, no, I do remember, it was when the new Wimpy Kid book came out and Leif got one.

Oh good god, I did not need to know this. I LOVE IT.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Do you like zombies? How about darkity-dark humor? How about fucked-up romance? Then run, do not walk, to read Breathers.

It is wickedly, marvelously fucked up. It is screamingly funny, abundantly disturbing, and disturbingly funny.

Because books.

That looks excellent, Tep!

I finished Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely and The Hunger Games this weekend, and loved them both. I have the next books in each series requested at the library. I'm especially eager to read the follow-up to The Hunger Games.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Good to hear, Steph. A friend of mine was reading it earlier this year, and I was wondering how it was.

Heh. Then I went to Shelfari...I avoided LibraryThing, but succumbed to the lure of Shelfari because there's no book limit, and I can link it to my facebook.

And, you know, cause I'm jobless and trying to resctructure my insomnia.

But the recommendations are SO ALLURING! I need money for books. Waaaahhh.

Oooh, I didn't think anyone else here uses Shelfari. My sister-in-law got me to join. I mostly use it to keep track of what I want to read, but I fill in comments when I can because she checks for recommendations.

How do you link it to FB?

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

Does LibraryThing have limits? I gave into their crack quite helplessly, but I think I may have ended up paying them money for some reason.
