I may have just tried to scroll up. On a book. An actual book.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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."

I think 2011 is sorry and is trying to make up.
If 2011 really wants to make up with me, there needs to be winning lottery numbers and a book deal. IJS.
HOWEVER, Sir Terry remembered me, and proclaimed to everyone in line,
"Look, it's The Goth! It's not a proper Seattle signing without The Goth!"
Squee!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Aww! Sir Terry, you'll always be awesome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is just delightful.

ION: I came home to the October 14/21 issue of Entertainment Weekly with an ad for "Five of this season's hottest new reads," including one Cold Kiss, by Amy Garvey. I was reading author names, "Carey, Gray, Garvey...Amy!" I was so excited. Hey Amy, you're in EW!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Yay for Jilli and Amy both!!
And, um, not having read Pratchett before, is he retiring from writing? Why is he not doing any more book tours after this?
