Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

'Beneath You'


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 don't recall that one.

But I went to the horse book website and found this page of Wesley Dennis illustrations for Black Beauty. I seem to recall that lovely cover picture.

(Back to Henry: anyone else read Black Gold?)

And a link to a page of Dennis covers. I swear I read all of those books!

Well, except for the last two.

Laga, I know that Justin Morgan's sire was said to be a thoroughbred - and if his dam was a "Dutch" horse. . does this mean that Morgans go back to Friesans?

Because books.

I wasn't really horse crazy, but I did read Misty of Chincoteague and Stormy, Misty's Foal. I can't find my copies, sadly.

I will go off about the awesomeness of morgans with very little notice.

There's a reason that Almanzo Wilder's horses Prince and Lady were Morgans--he was a firm advocate of the breed.

dana - could you be thinking of this series by Linda Craig about a girl and her palomino solving mysteries?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think that's probably them, sumi. Thanks! Googling for "palomino club" just brought up a whole bunch of results for strip clubs.

Oh! What were his other team's names?

Man, when I'm done reading All of a Kind Family with Sara, I really want to start on the Little House books. Whether she likes them or not, to be honest.

I've read Black Gold --I read everything by Henry in every library in reach--but I don't remember it. I always liked King of the Wind best.

Is Sara liking All of a Kind Family? We've been doing some Junie B. Jones, but I think next we need to do The Penderwicks, which was a gift and which I haven't read yet.
