woo! i look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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 do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

P-C, be careful, you might not get any sleep tonight. I couldn't put them down once I started them.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm glad I didn't have them all at once because yeah. At least it wouldn't be as bad as the couple days I lost to Twilight. Last time I checked I was up to 6 in the holds queue for Mockingjay.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've forced myself to take a break between books 2 and 3 ... besides, I decided Mockingjay wasn't something I wanted to read over Thanksgiving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! So I was complaining about the Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Next the other day (in Natter, I guess), and the good news is, 100+ pages in, stuff finally started happening. But not before several different history lessons!

Man, did he ever need an editor with a firmer hand. So much extra blah blah blah in those books.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He was dead before they were published so he wasn't really there to work on edits. I think they just took a flier and decided to run them as is.
Though he was very stubborn, and a long time established journalist so he might've resisted changes anyway.

Yeah, I think this would probably have been the case.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Excitement! I might be getting an e-reader for the winter holidays...i've been doing some research and am totally leaning towards the nook since my library supports it and i *heart* my library. Has anyone used the sharing feature?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A Fire Upon The Deep getting a sequel. A year from now. I don't want to know this far in advance!
Erin, do you mean the lending feature? Yes, indeedy. That's how I read Mockingbird, and I've lent as well. Which reminds me--I need to send tiggy my contact info, once I remember which email I'm set up with.
