Buffy ,'End of Days'


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."

Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls

Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett

I just realized I like shorter books to be a little more thoughtful

and i really hope none of you have missed the Uncommon reader

Because books.

I don't think I've heard of Uncommon Reader, beth. I'll have to look it up.

Too long?

It seems like an average length for SFF books that came out at that time.

really good. completely buy accident Queen Elizabeth II discovers the joy of becoming a reader . And a vocabulary that sent my DH to the dictionary a few times. ( that almost never happens to him )

Of course, the Language of sand was another book that could have sent us to the dictionary ( The main character was a lexicographer ) , but it actually had the definitions in the book
