Erin, I think it's Skulduggery Pleasant.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I gobbled up all of the Parasol Protectorate this week. What a charming series!

Megan, I LOVE The name of your blog! Clever!
Also, what a great challenge. I'll be re-reading Possession because I teach it in a month or two.

Thanks Kat! It's based on my college nickname (from people mispelling my name on my door message whiteboard). I'll be reading Possession right after the Eco since our salon after "Atheism" is "Books and the Bookish."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I liked Possession. I should reread it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Byatt's Possession? Loved. Lovedlovedloved. And every other Byatt I attempted to read after it failed to thrill me.
