Do you know somebody who needs a Margaret Atwood doll?
Me too!
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

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."

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.

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.

Oh, and this summer a friend gave me the Jane Eyre book purse. It is all kinds of awesome. You can imagine the comments I get when I bring it out in public.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.
I didn't look to see if there were other dolls, and now I'm not going to look because it could be dangerous.
Aaaiiieeeee, no I hadn't! Dammit, all these amazing altered book purses, and no spending money. Grr.
Sorry.

Because books.
I thought the dolls were sort of weird-looking, sadly. Because a Charlotte Bronte would be awesome. Or an Emily Dickinson.
Yeah, I'll forgo Margaret Atwood and go with Charlotte Bronte, Darcy and Elisabeth, and all four Little Women.
I had all four Little Women Madame Alexander dolls when I was little! I LOVED them.
