Excitement! I might be getting an e-reader for the winter holidays...i've been doing some research and am totally leaning towards the nook since my library supports it and i *heart* my library. Has anyone used the sharing feature?
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A Fire Upon The Deep getting a sequel. A year from now. I don't want to know this far in advance!
Erin, do you mean the lending feature? Yes, indeedy. That's how I read Mockingbird, and I've lent as well. Which reminds me--I need to send tiggy my contact info, once I remember which email I'm set up with.

October's less than a year from now! But still too long.
I always think of A Deepness in the Sky as being a sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep. I don't know why, it clearly isn't, but it fits into that space in my head, somehow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, no, erin. Anyone with, I think, a Barnes and Noble account and lendable ebooks.
I don't have a Nook, but I do have a B&N account, and ebooks, and I lent ita a book. I'm in KC and she's in LA. Easy peasy.
Note: Not all books are lendable.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I'm using the email address deena AT dlmfisher.com for my B&N account, but I don't have many I can lend. I usually buy a book my library doesn't have, so it's bits and pieces of series. I have Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires Series #2) by Chloe Neill, Magic on the Storm (Allie Beckstrom Series #4) by Devon Monk, An Artificial Night (October Daye Series #3) by Seanan McGuire.
There are also some free books in the B&N nook catalog. [link] Not as many as for the Kindle, but some of them looked interesting.

Enjoy Hunger Games, P-C!
I'm currently reading Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie, and my god is the man verbose. The book is apparently the story of the life of Saleem Sinai, who, on page 107, hasn't been born yet.
