Welcome to Litsy!

It's a xmas miracle! Ever since Disney Hyperion released a trilogy of Buffyverse books, set 20ish years after the show with Willow's daughter as the new slayer, I have been saying they were planning a TV sequel. That Spike was spelled to look "old" and Buffy was missing were huge tip offs to me. Now I see this, and I KNOW I'm right. Looks like Disney and SMG had some negotiating to do lol Who's ready?! I sure am! ?

Tried to capture the excellent wrapping job @julieclair did! I love everything! Thank you so much!! I‘m excited to keep the spooky fun going past Halloween with these reads! Thank you for hosting @wanderinglynn #hhs24

4 ⭐ Welcome back to the Buffy verse. Long time viewers know that there is only one born in every generation. And that the only way to get a new slayer for the previous slayer to die. That is until Willow and Buffy get together and make sure every possible slayer is given their powers so they can defeat evil. But that was 16 years ago. Something has happened to the slayers. At least four are dead, and no one knows where the others are at.

I couldn‘t find one with “vampire” in The title but this one has a vampire slayer… that counts right? #scarathlonphotochallenge day 21: vampire #scarathlon2023 #scarathlon #mischiefandmayhem

If you loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer (like I still do to a near-embarrassing level) or Kendare Blake, then this is the book for you! Amazing new Scoobies, original characters making a reappearance, and just the right perfectly campy, quippy tone!

I loved Buffy the show and just loved this book! It felt very consistent with the show, only now focusing on the next generation and centering Willow‘s daughter, Frankie. Blake is clearly a fan and I felt like she nailed it. I can‘t wait for the next installment (already requested from my library)!

Thank you @FantasyChick for the #creepychristmas package. I am really looking forward to the book. The face masks definitely falls under creepy when you put them on. It made my skin feel lovely, but my husband said he couldn‘t even look at me and my son this morning when we had them on as he said he felt we looked like characters out of a horror film. Lol
We had a lot of laughs with them.

Thanks @teebe for hosting

My #LetterI rec is for all the Buffy fans out there... especially Willow, Oz, and Spike fans, as they're the only original scoobies in the book. My theory is it's because Disney is playing the long game, starting with books they hope to adapt for a TV reboot with these original cast members because, let's be honest, SMG isn't going back lol The book even creates a reason to age up Spike 🧐
Here for it.

Just a little #BirthdayBookHaul 😍😍

I'm trying not to spend a lot of money on new books these days BUT Chapters had a Buy 3 Get 1 Free sale that I had to take advantage of. Plus, I had a credit and my yearly coupon code so these were practically free 🤣 My preorder of Kingdom of the Feared will be here in Sept!

Will shiny new books jump start my summer reading? Probably not, but they look nice! 🤣

I have never experienced a battle of severe nostalgia and outrage at the same time…. Why did I read this book? It only came out in January. I am a glutton for punishment….. 15/10 ⭐️

Finally finally finally! Starting immediately! ❣️

🧛🏻‍♂️ 🗡

As a *MASSIVE* Buffy fan (I was once the treasurer of an “I Love David Boreanaz” Fan Club; I role-played as Queen C in Buffy chat rooms; later, I wrote my letter of intent to get into grad school *ABOUT* Buffy), I was obviously going to be disappointed by this book. And I was. 😅🙈 More spoiler-laden details in the comments…but suffice it to say that if you‘re going to write a BtVS book, you have to stick to the vampire lore created for the show.

Much as I‘m inclined to complain about a lot of things in this book (as super-fans are wont to do when something new appears in their fandom), I wont be complaining about this chapter heading. It‘s perfect.

It‘s all happening…⚰️

Let the nostalgia commence!

I've been a HUGE Buffy fan since the show premiered. It's obvious that Blake knows her Buffy - the details, the backstory, even the personalities of the characters - are all spot on. It did take me a while to get into - for the most part, the book deals with a new, younger generation of characters - but the plot was just like an episode of the show. The author did a great job bringing a new cast of characters to life.

Omg. Yes. It's witty, fun, and bursting at the seams with nostalgia, while also doing a great job at being it's own thing. I ❤ what they did with Spike, and I ❤❤ that the new slayer is Willow's daughter. Could it have been more diverse? Definitely! Will ppl be divided on the Willow/Oz storyline? Probably. Did I miss Buffy? Not really. It's a new Scooby gang, all connected to the OG show, and I think it works really well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book 8 of 2022

Well, since its too early to find fanart for the book...I chose a picture of the actress who plays the slayer Vi on the Buffy tv show. Ya know...cause I can. Have you ever cried at the beginning of a book??? Well I did with this one! It sure was nice to have old characters back. Plus new characters whom ya just cant help but fall in love with. I give this book 4.5/5🍪 I cant wait for the next one!

"Sunnydale High. It has been rebuilt so many times that it was known among the students as The Thing That Wouldn't Die".

Thanks for the tag @DarkMina

1) I would easily be friends with Nikolai Lantsov because he's always having adventures and he's super fun!
2) I would probably have serious conflict with Mavon Calore because he's an annoying little bitch. (Just saying)
3) Today I'm grateful for the tagged book that I'm reading, cause its so good!
If you haven't played, consider yourself tagged!

This book is so busy! I feel like they're trying to fit in too much for the first book. But I continue one! It's funny and everything like the show it's just very busy.

Yeah I did. 😏

Stages of me realizing this exists:

1. 😳
2. 😯
3. 😲
4. ... There goes my weekend.

Sunnydale High. #firstlinefridays

OK, I cheated a little and posted the first sentence of ch 1, instead of the prologue. But c'mon, every Buffy fan can appreciate the impact of starting chapter 1 of this continuation with just, "Sunnydale High." I couldn't resist! ⚰?

I am a Kendra‘s Blake fan so when this new book came out I immediately grabbed it. I had no idea it was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer book! There is obviously a lot of Buffy canon I have no knowledge of and this book tries to catch you up on everything you might have missed….which is A LOT. I found all of those stories distracting. This one is about Buffy and Willow‘s children…the next generation of vampire slayers. I think I should rewatch TV show!

In Every Generation by Kendare Blake is a young adult contemporary fantasy novel and continuation of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A catastrophe at a Slayer meeting has forced a new one to rise and despite her pedigree she is not prepared to save the world. This was a fun and nostalgic read for Buffy fans old and new. I‘m curious to hear the backstory of the missing Slayers and what will happen next for Frankie and the gang.
