I finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern last night. I want to LIVE in that book. It's gorgeous, and it feels like it came straight out of part of my brain.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I see the email with it, but it's to a different account from the one my nook account is associated with (lsprink@hopeintransit.org) so if I haven't accepted it yet, can you rescind and resend?

Hm, it's showing up as "lent" in my library. Checking with customer service on how to undo that. Sorry!

liese which book do you need? Cause I might have it and can lend it.
Except I can't find the Nook.

It was Catching Fire, Kat. B&N customer service is supposed to get back to me in 24-48 hrs. You can lend through their website, too.

not your mom's socks.
Hivemind, a friend views herself as a fairly mainstream reader. She's just devoured the Hunger Games series and is looking for more. Her tolerances: Victorian/Steampunk - moderate to high; vampire/zombie - resistant. Would you be so kind as to help me turn --no, wait-- help her find some more good reads? PS, she's a yarnbomber, and awfully fun.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The Affinity Bridge is good - Victorian/steampunk. Author is ... Mann?

Sox, I would recommend Oryx and Crake and Handmaid's Tale. Same dystopian fun....no zombies!

Sox, she might like Nancy Farmer's House of the Scorpion, which is a YA-adventure dystopian variation on Never Let Me Go -- and written first.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Possibly the Midnighters trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. Or, for that matter, his Uglies/Pretties/Specials trilogy.
