Yay! I'm so glad you guys all went, Cass! Congrats, Amy!
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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."

Amy is a "hottest read." Yay!
Apparently, you have to be more than a little crazy to run a successful bookstore [link]

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hey, can anyone tell me again what page Amy's Entertainment Weekly mention is on? I have that issue and I glanced through it (Oct. 14th, right?) but I didn't find it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't remember the exact page, but turn to the Books section, and I think if you turn back one or two pages, the ad is on the left.

Because books.
Look for Kelsey Grammer! Hee.
Thanks so much, guys. It's awesome to come in there and have people excited for me.
Also, having MY people at the signing in Seattle, my first one, was the amazing thing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So hi. This is me after finishing Persuasion, deciding to make a start on Catching Fire, then reading all the way through both remaining books, falling asleep briefly at 7, waking up a few hours later and finishing. Oops.
So, man, am I glad I decided not to read them when I did. Not only was it just bleak in general, but specific bits of the dystopia read like the tsunami evacuation and recovery, and I certainly could not have read them then. I'm not altogether sure I should have read it now.
