Buffistas

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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 don't remember hearing about Monsters of Templeton but that sounds interesting. For $1.99? Twist my arm. Why does Lauren Groff sound familiar?

My January magazines just started popping up on my kindle, I don't need to be buying new books. I will have to give myself a stern talking to.

Because books.

No, I have it in paperback, it wasn't a Kindle deal. For me! It might have been at some point.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Amy is me, if it is $1.99 or less on kindle and I’m even vaguely interested in it, I buy it. Then I can always find something for whatever reading mood I’m in.

Sorry, yes, I *did* buy it today because it is $1.99 and I will say "why not?" to a lot of things at that price. Up to $4.99, really, although that adds up fast and I should not be so spendthrifty. I looked it up because y'all were talking about it but not specifically because I expected it to be $1.99.

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

I have read a LOT of absolute garbage this year because it was available on Kindle Unlimited and I was trying to put myself on an eBook budget. So anytime something good is on sale, yes, snap it up!

I tried to stick to Kindle Unlimited, Jess, but unless I stumble across a whole series that I actually like that is all available there (which happened at least a couple of times and was awesome) I get discouraged after trying to wade through an unreadable mess that was in my "Picks for You" or whatever. And then because I tried it the author will keep showing up in my recommendations and I have to remember that, no, I do not recognize that name because I like them...

I started My Dark Vanessa this afternoon.

Because books.

Oooh! I want to read that too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have to always decide what I’m reading next or I lose my momentum.
