Steph, I know! Ivy not a complete scatterbrain! Clever! I was so delighted about that. And OH MY GOD, BIFFY IS A WEREWOLF AND AKELDAMA IS THE NEW POTENTATE, iiiieee!
I get to meet Gail Carriger on Friday. I'm so excited!
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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."

The status is NOT quo.
I thought Blameless was tons of fun. Hurray for Gail Carriger!
Jilli, I'm excited you get to meet her, but I think she needs to understand that she is writing about YOU. I mean, seriously, half the fun of reading the books is that I quite shamelessly picture you in the main role. How could I not? (And yes, this does make Pete a cranky werewolf, and I will say no more on that account except heeeheehee.)

I'm way more whimsical than Alexia?

Who ELSE do you think was playing that role in my mind?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
BookPage just sent me email about that yesterday!
Woot!

My favorite was The Odyssey. (Heh, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is good too.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My favorite last words are the ones attributed to Giles Corey during the Salem Witch Trials. He was being pressed (i.e. stuck between boards with weight piled up on the top board), because he refused to declare himself innocent or guilty (by doing so, he didn't give up rights to his property). His last words were supposedly "More weight!"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anybody else read Faye Kellerman? Specifically, does anyone remember which book was the first one with Chris Donatti? I can't remember, and don't feel like going through my whole shelf searching. (Also, could she possibly use less descriptive titles? Aside from the first one, and then Milk and Honey being the one with the bees, and Jupiter's Bones the one with the guy named Jupiter, and maybe one or two others, I can never remember which title goes with which story.)
