17776
Easily one of the best things I read last year.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Just read The Girl with All the Gifts. Now I've gotta go back and see what you guys had to say when you all read it!
eta: Except my threadshearching skills are apparently lame and I am defeated in my search. Anybody more skilled than I want to point me towards a date or post number? Thanks ever so.

Okay, I just read/skimmed all of 2014 (it was nice to see ita and Ginger again), and never found a word about The Girl with All the Gifts. I would absolutely swear I remember seeing people talking about it here. Am I imagining it?
edit: friggin' autocorrect

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't remember hearing about it, but that doesn't mean much. The summary looks interesting.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We talked about the movie version of The Girl With All the Gifts in Movies.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yeah, the part where Roxy's dad transplants her skein into her brother was horrifying and made me so angry. Although at least the brother does get a satisfyingly awful comeuppance.

OK, so this 17776 thing is kinda cool. (Just started it.)
