We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

Prince Lestat is sitting on my Kindle, and has been since midnight last night.

I have not opened it yet. Because if I do, I won't get anything else done today, and I've got dayjob things I need to take care of.

But ... vampires!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Jilli, you are definitely winning the Marshmallow Test right now.

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

Wow, Jilli, are you okay? I mean, do you need medication or something?

I am being a responsible adult.

I DON'T WANT TO.

Dammit, book! Right over there! Still in an ambiguous state of "Might be better than Blood Canticle"!

I love that chart. Pete says I am not to use it as an aspirational checklist.

Jilli - what is the book that you are denying yourself?

I have been making use of the uni library to get things like "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt. . . picked it up yesterday and read about a page.

I still owe the public library my heart's blood so I cannot yet take books out there.

Meanwhile, Amazon tells me that my copy of the new Rothfuss has arrived. . . I'm not sure I recall what happened in the first two. Should I dive in? Or re-read?

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

sumi, it's not the third book. It's a novella about Auri, so as long as you basically remember who she is, you should be fine.
