I really wish there were a Montgomery wiki somewhere.
Oh, yeah, that would be useful.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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."

Because books.
Just saw on Twitter that L.A. Banks (Leslie Esdaile) passed away this morning. I wrote copy for a bunch of her Sasha Trudeau books. Sad.

not your mom's socks.
Hey Amy, I was just coming in to post that. There's a fund for her daughter, and to help pay the medical bills. I have the information, if anyone wants, I can pass it or post it.

Wow, my editor just told me that William Sleator died.
(I googled but haven't found an official story or obit yet, but she read an announcement from his publisher, so I'm assuming it's true.)
I haven't read him in ages but used to adore him, especially Oddballs, his collection of stories about his family that I always assumed was an autobiography, though Wikipedia calls it a "semi-autobiographical story collection." Anyway, it's a great book, and I totally idealized Sleator and his weirdo parents and siblings. Sad to know that he's now gone.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wow, my editor just told me that William Sleator died.
Oh no! I really liked some of his books when I was a kid. And I know someone who was pen-pals with him for years.

How bizarre, I'd never heard of him, but I'm currently reading House of Stairs for my Disturbing Dystopias book salon.

Oh, I loved House of Stairs! I read it in eighth grade and forgot only the title -- it was actually here someone helped me remember it. That's a shame.
