Hummm... A Discovery of Witches? I have that on my Nook but haven't started it yet
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.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Is Aslan a man? If not, then The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. Also, I think mny mystery books might- Miss Marple, Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, if only because they are discussing the mystery?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Miss Marple totally does.
Miss Marple rules.

Looks like it was, in fact, A Discovery of Witches.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I read it...and can't remember what it was about. Quite bland.

Classics besides Jane Austen that pass the Bechdel Test:
The Awakening
Cold Comfort Farm
Gone with the Wind
The Group
Howards End
Jane Eyre
Les Misérables
Little Women
Rebecca
A Room with a View
I’m pretty sure a number of Zola and Balzac novels would pass the test.

Because books.
Wow, I haven't read The Group in years. I had forgotten about that book.

Hey. New board.
Does anyone know what book this is describing?
Definitely A Discovery of Witches. My wife loved the book inordinately.

Harry Potter people help me out?
I was listening to the audiobook of Prisoner of Azkaban last night and what's on my iPod ended with the chapter titled "Hermione's Secret", in which Harry & Hermione go back in time to save Buckbeak and Sirius. The very last bit ends with Sirius & Buckbeak flying away.
There is another chapter after that, isn't there?

Has to be. Harry says goodbye to Remus, for example.
