Whatcha Readin'? (10/29 - 11/5)

Ongoing posts about what we're reading and encouraging others to read it and discuss
I started "The Vegan Studies Project" by Laura Wright, in which she looks through a vegan lens at the trend of vampire romance... apparently, I am susceptible to suggestion, because I stopped reading that book after the chapter where she discusses "True Blood" and instead read the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, "Dead Until Dark". I don't know that I'd recommend it, but it was a quick read and put me in mind of its time, late 90s/early 2000s.
Now I'm back to the Vegan Studies Project. I'm not finding it terribly compelling, honestly, but that's okay. It is at least interesting to see an academically-oriented vegan text looking at, among other things, media that I love like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
