In a move guaranteed to piss off librarians and bookstore employees everywhere, Nov 18th is International Science Fiction Reshelving Day:
Oh, dear. That really would be a nightmare for the poor employees if people actually do it.
My food is problematic.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just read that there's going to be a prequel to P&P&Z, as well as maybe a sequel.

Hey. New board.
I come to the thread requesting help identifying a book:
I read it a couple of years ago. It is contemporary adult fiction with a young (8 years old, about) female protagonist. I believe it's set in England, but I could be wrong. She attends a school where she is learning Chinese, I remember that. I loved the style - it was written from the girl's perspective, and it captured the style of a young person by using long words occasionally in completely wrong ways, among other things.
I liked it. I don't remember the name. I want it. Any help?

For the serious fan, a well researched look into How to Survive a Stephen King story.
