Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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."

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.

Oh hey, I think I've got the Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos book upstairs in one of the to-be-read stacks. Go me!

That sounds like EXACTLY what I need to look at.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That series Steph loves so much, Skulduggery Pleasant ?

Oooh, yes! Though, like the Harry Potter books, they get darker as they go along.
