You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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."

Art Crawl!!!

Thomas Canty has donated a drawing he did for the illustrated special edition of A Feast for Crows to the Terri Windling fundraiser. (Not surprising - I believe he did the covers for the Fairy Tale series and for various anthologies that Terri Windling edited.

Do you know somebody who needs a Margaret Atwood doll?

Do you know somebody who needs a Margaret Atwood doll?

Me!

Jilli, have you seen this altered book purse?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I don't need Margaret Atwood, but I definitely need Frances Hodgson Burnett, GK Chesterton and Carson McCullers, and I wouldn't say no to Charlotte Bronte or Edith Wharton either.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think you just created your fantasy dinner party.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Chesterton for sure, and possibly McCullers, but I'd want to add in Flannery O'Connor and swap out Burnett for E. Nesbit. A dinner party guest list is a delicate thing.

And if the etsy seller wanted to take a cue from my dinner party and start making O'Connor and Nesbit dolls, I would be ALL in favor of it.

Jilli, have you seen this altered book purse?

Aaaiiieeeee, no I hadn't! Dammit, all these amazing altered book purses, and no spending money. Grr.

(I have a copy of that anthology sitting in the vampire bookcase. It's got a lot of good stories in it.)

Yeah, I'll forgo Margaret Atwood and go with Charlotte Bronte, Darcy and Elisabeth, and all four Little Women.
