I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oscar Wilde via Jersey Shore (x-posted in reality tv):

love! Now I want Oscar Wilde goggles for all reality TV. I wish he'd got to see Drag Race.

Still in the middle of Infinite Jest, I've started on a pornographic writing project. I am coming up with some really weird sentences. I kinda like it.

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

I don't know a thing about Jersey Shore but that was fantastic.

My new clothbound Dracula was waiting for me when I got home from book salon. I think this is my favorite C B-S title yet

Oooh, pretty.

I nearly bought the (new-ish) leatherbound edition of Dracula that's at B&N, but decided to go for a vampire anthology I hadn't read before. But! I did finally break down and purchase this one from Amazon: [link]

I need recs for paranormal-ish books for middlegrade readers. I read a LOT of YA, but I also need to read stuff that is aimed at the slightly younger readers. Help?

Because books.

Jilli, off the top of my head, these might work:

The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place.

Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go.

A Tale Dark and Grimm.

The Sisters Grimm series.

I know there are some others, too. I'll poke around.

Because books.

Bear in mind I haven't read these, although I've sampled the first two on the list above.

The 43 Old Cemetery Road series.

The Case of the Missing Marquess, the first in a series about Enola Holmes, Sherlock and Mycroft's much younger sister.

Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos. Also part of a series.
