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.
I am -t in this matter.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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."

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

or we could form a movement...

really liked this book, even though it was hard to read.
I just gave in to temptation and kindled the 27th Dozios SF collection. I could have chosen so many books. I did this why? Because it was 3am. That's what I'm going to tell people.

"Because it was 3am" is a fairly good reason for just about anything, I think,
