Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

I just bought the EW issue yesterday! I was told they were running the ad, but I hadn't see it yet. I'm very psyched my spine is right there in the middle, too. ::preens a little::

Jilli, that's so cool. Can I say that tonight?!

Amy, if you want to say that, sure!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

in less optimistic news, they're doing a new version of Twilight ... with wafty drawings of Bella and Edward. Yes ... just what the world needed (facepalm).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Woot Amy!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I went to an author tour event and, wow, Amy was amazing!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay! I'm so glad you guys all went, Cass! Congrats, Amy!

Amy is a "hottest read." Yay!

Apparently, you have to be more than a little crazy to run a successful bookstore [link]

Punishingly Intricate

Oh I was just talking about that story with my bookstore owner friend! That lady is ridiculous!

I think you just have to be more than a little crazy to merit a style piece in the NYT. It also helps to be cute, I guess.

And looking like she does helps.
