I had bought the first three books for my nephew's Christmas present, and bought another set of them for myself. I had the morning after Thanksgiving free, so I decided to read the first book before deciding whether I would be keeping my set or returning them. I devoured it in three hours, then went back and reread the first Quidditch play-by-play by Lee Jordan out loud because JKR had written it so brilliantly.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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."

Just wanted to report that the Alice in Wonderland purse that I ordered from Novel Creations on etsy arrived yesterday and it looks very good. Now I just have to wait until Christmas.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It occurs to me that Harry's story is that of earning the fame he already had.

I cannot justify buying the Dracula purse, I cannot justify buying the Dracula purse, I cannot justify buying the Dracula purse.
If I keep saying that, do you think I'll eventually stop wanting the Dracula purse?

I'm now seriously considering the Jane Eyre purse for myself.

Sadly, this is a very true statement.

Jane Eyre is one of my sister's favorite books: I'm very tempted to buy this for her. But she's not really a novelty-purse kind of person. I'm not sure.

Did you guys looks through the ones listed in the feedback? There's a Madeline one that is so adorable! And I totally want the Deathly Hollows one!
eta: I'm not a novelty purse kind of person either, but I LOVE books, which is why I would make an exception for these novelty purses.
