Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

Art Crawl!!!

I know - it makes it look like she's being strangled by some sort of carnivorous vine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Strangled by...the stuffy conventions of Regency society?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

So help me I'm kind of excited to see what JKR is announcing tonight.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Ah, okay. Not quite what I was expecting, but close enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys -- I finished Room last night, and I can't stop thinking about it! Then I found the website, which is worth seeing if you've read the book: [link]

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It's on my TBR pile (metaphorically.) I like Donoghoe a lot, and I'm interested in seeing how she writes a story set in modern times.

I haven't read any of her other stuff, so can't say how it compares.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I read Room last week and loved it. It really stuck with me - I found myself thinking about it a lot since reading it.
