My appreciation of Margaret Rey (Curious George) is up at Hilobrow.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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."

Eeee! The magical shipping elves at Amazon reminded me that the 7th Vampire Kisses book is coming out on Tuesday! I love when I pre-order things and then forget. Happy new vampire book, soon to be mine!

Yay fun! Those are so cute, and I love that the author is from Cincy! (I still think Raven is ultimately going to end up with Trevor.)

BITE YOUR TONGUE. I am in complete denial about that possibility.

Hee! But the storyline keeps dropping hints! Dropping ANVILS!
I like Alexander, don't get me wrong. And I love his mother. But I don't think they are Meant To Be.

sticks fingers in ears, starts humming "Bela Lugosi's Dead" REALLY LOUD
No. Raven will become a vampire! She will, dammit!
(Alexander's mother is so awesome. I want to grow up to be her ... wait a minute, I kinda already have, haven't I?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Help! I need suggestions for "age-appropriate" gothy reading material for elementary-school babybats. An 11 year old GCS reader wrote in asking for help.

You were always a goth, what did you read in elementary school?
Oh! Scary Godmother!

Things that were 10+ years above what was considered "age appropriate" for my actual age. None of my teachers ever commented on my reading material, and my parents let me read whatever I wanted. This is why I'm not really sure what IS "age appropriate" for an 11 year old.
