Amy, how far did you get? It speeds up around chapter 6 or 7, once the violence kicks in. I find Diana an interesting character because she's educated and athletic and capable of rescuing herself, even when a vampire is involved.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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."

Because books.
I was bored in the first chapter! But I'll probably try it again.

HA! Yeah, I can see that. The book and the library? Not super exciting. Though essential to the series.

I could stand to learn patience a little better, it's true. I was planning on going back to it, but King's Duma Key sucked me in hard, and the woman who'd loaned the book needed it back anyway.

The second book, though, is beautifully historically researched. It was a very fun read. But then again, I know lots of people, Erin too maybe, who didn't like the book.
She's a professor at USC and has taught a handful of my former students.

I read the kindle sample of Discovery, but I hated the characters so I never purchased it.

My to-read list is so absurd at this point, it's hard to figure out what to read when. I still have to read Code Name Verity for book club on Sunday, and I haven't even started the Montmaray book or finished The Night Circus.

I have started several books over the last week, but I haven't stuck with anything. Maybe I'll read Night Circus.

Based on the monkey see blog over at NPR, I read Pammy's book and the new Jennifer Weiner book last week. They were fun.

My next book is either the new Tana French or Laura Moriaty's book The Chaperone.
