We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yes, it's a great book, and you are going to be a sobbing mess.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yes, you will flail and gibbber and drool with envy at the writing.

Have fun!

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

I'm doing the audiobook so I get to hear the Scottish! I already love the narrative voice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very cool! I was already excited when I realized that was from my local. (Edit: Which I did NOT realize from the byline, because I am a skimmy skimmer who skims.)

I just saw an ad for Robin Hobb's new series The Fitz and The Fool. I don't remember, was it declared if the Fool was a man or a woman? I know the Fool appeared as both.

The status is NOT quo.

I just read it, Connie! The Fool is a man, though he has masqueraded as a woman. It was a great read.

I adore Robin Hobb.

Did she do anything with the less-than-subtle romantic tension that was in the end of the first books?
