JZ, that looks very interesting.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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."

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.

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.

That could be. I only read the sample of that book, which I didn't like. It is about a vampire and a witch though. I didn't like it.
