Amy, yes! I loved it and could barely put it down. Can't wait for the third book to come out next year!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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."

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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For the serious fan, a well researched look into How to Survive a Stephen King story.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Have we shuddered at this yet? [link] New editions of Wuthering Heights, with covers reminding us that it's Bella and Edward's favorite book.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'm doing this thing right now called 5 ft Shelf. Basicallt, you create this ideal 5 foot shelf of books that you love/think are ultimate. You can create mini shelves for movie or music.
It's pretty new but looks like a total 'Ffista thing.
(I'm there under captain mordinary, building a shelf.)

Borders: All Twilight, all the time.
Shocking. I can't think of the last time I was in Borders. Wait, no, I do remember, it was when the new Wimpy Kid book came out and Leif got one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Do you like zombies? How about darkity-dark humor? How about fucked-up romance? Then run, do not walk, to read Breathers.
It is wickedly, marvelously fucked up. It is screamingly funny, abundantly disturbing, and disturbingly funny.

Because books.
That looks excellent, Tep!
I finished Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely and The Hunger Games this weekend, and loved them both. I have the next books in each series requested at the library. I'm especially eager to read the follow-up to The Hunger Games.
