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."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

And, my SIL's main Christmas present has now been purchased (she's a huge Alice fan). Thanks Jilli!

Hee! You're welcome. I'm trying to convince myself that I do. not. NEED another purse, but the Dracula one is very nifty.

I believe you were also the one who linked to the Etsy Alice necklace I bought her two years ago.

That sounds like something I'd link to, yeah.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Braggity brag, I love my awesome mom:

She just reviewed a fantastic nonfiction book, The Philosophical Breakfast Club (about Babbage and his three best friends), and the author loved her review right back.

Come on in, the water's fine!

I seem to always be leaving my own reading to the end of the month, but this month I'm bound and determined to finish Brighton Rock long before that.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Does anyone have a graphic novel recommendation for an 8 year old who really loved the Bone series?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bone has a couple of spin-offs, Rose and Stupid Stupid Rat Tales, if you missed them.

The other obvious choices are Tintin and Asterix.
