sj, how about Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword? I haven't read the whole thing, but I've flipped through it at the local bookstore and it looks utterly charming. School Library Journal and Booklist both gave it a lot of love, too.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

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."

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
JZ, that looks very interesting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've read Mirka, and loved it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The Post reviewed Jean Auel's latest recently; it began:
Sometimes it feels as though entire hominid species have evolved in less time than it takes to read “The Land of Painted Caves”

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Does anyone know what book this is describing?
“I'll give you a hint...it's about a Vampire and Witch (not a young adult novel) and they talk incessantly about wine, tea, horseback riding and yoga (kinda makes me want to barf). There's a lot of historical stuff thrown in, which makes it pretty interesting at times. But, yeah, I kinda can't believe I am still reading it.”

Because books.
I have no clue, megan.
In other news, a piece on The Bechdel Test and classic literature.
The comments list a few novels that pass, but I'm trying to come up with more.

megan, the Sookie Stackhouse books maybe? I have never read one so it's a shot in the dark

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No, definitely not Sookie.
