Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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."

"I love their text! It just has so much sub."

Are there more?

Oh, yes! One I know what only published in Brittain (only one mag) where Millie is confused for another person in one of her other books continuities.

And then there's another short story in a different anthology and I think she's got another one in Unexpected Magic but I'm not sure...

Art Crawl!!!

Look what Amazon's pairing the new Chrestomanci book with -- the third Sorcery and Cecelia book.

And they're pairing that book up with the new Lois McMaster Bujold!

Because books.

A third Sorcery and Cecelia?! Yay!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Don't you hate it how you can go instantaneously from knowing nothing about something to wanting it desperately?

WANT WANT WANT!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Acorn Books has about two weeks left and every time I go in there I see stuff that Buffistas would want.

Lots of old Aviation books for DXM.

Classic fantasy for Micole and others. I had to put back a first edition of L. Sprague DeCamp and Fletcher Pratt's The Castle of Iron.

But I did pick up a first edition, signed copy of Fritz Leiber's The Knight and Knave of Swords.

So much stuff Betsy would like it's impossible to catalog. Lots of Victorian era editions. Whole shelves of rare Sherlock Holmes stuff. Shelves of rare Oziana - including the Baum Bugle.

Also picked up an xmas present for JZ's mom. A first edition of S.J. Perelman's Listen to the Mockingbird. Cover and interior illustrations by Hirschfeld. Lots of illustrations. Like every third page. So cool.

They're also auctioning off their furnishings and they've got gorgeous old glass fronted, wooden book cabinets of many sizes. Lecterns. Reading chairs with wide arms for your teacup.

The too-far-away book and furnishings porn makes me So. Sad.

You can see some of the bookcases here.

I mentioned all the books are 70% off, right?

You are So. Mean.
