I don't think I've heard of Uncommon Reader, beth. I'll have to look it up.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even 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."

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

Oh, I read the sequel, but I never read Tea. Thanks for the reminder that it exists!

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

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I like Colette's Cheri, and Marguerite Duras' The Lover -- although The Lover is definitely a novel, although it is a slim one. It's very dense.

You beat me to posting about it. I was able to get through just now on the boston groupon site.
