Which cover would you want for Something Wicked, Jilli?
One of my all-time favorite book covers.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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."

And I'd want this cover for Dracula: [link]
(Actually, I want to find a copy of that version of Dracula for my collection, too.)

The cover of the first edition. One of the books I covet the most.

Huh. My treasured (and signed!) childhood copy of Something Wicked is a collectible: [link]
Must get Pete to scan the photo of Mr. Bradbury holding Clovis.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to work out who wears a baby T of Lolita. Because I really really want one. But? It seems rife with...rifeness.

My friend forgot to bring her copy of the Hunger Games to lend me. But it's all ok, because I didn't get called to work today anyway and so had no time to read.
Has anyone here ever read Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin? I read it recently and was sort of blown away by how amazing it was.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I haven't read Winter's Tale in about twenty years, but the last time I did it made me cry repeatedly. Parts of it are still vivid in my dreamscapes -- all those turn-of-some-other-century-that-never-quite-was New York winters. And I'd know the Lake of the Coheeries the second I saw it, if I was ever fortunate enough to find it.
