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."
Rushing through Skulduggery whitefont; I'm going to Powell's website right now to see if I can find the other books at a decent price.
And if I can find the Kylie Chan books (Australia) that aren't really available in the US for my sister and dad, I will be a fucking HEROINE.
ETA: SCORE! Skulduggery Pleasant books and FREE SHIPPING this weekend! No love on the not-available-in-US-yet Chan books.
SCORE! Skulduggery Pleasant books and FREE SHIPPING this weekend!
::whimpers:: I have books to read and can't afford it, I have books to read and can't afford it, there will be other free shipping days in the future, la la la...
I know! The last Skulduggery is $23, and I'm hemming and hawing and, and...
Krav maga or series completion (to the point of being published)?

People who've borrowed from the Kindle library: When I borrowed Water for Elephants, it said I couldn't borrow another book until Feb. 1 (I think). If I'm not done with the book by then, is it going to disappear?
I believe it will disappear, but people with more direct experience will have a better answer.
I just read that as "like water for elephants".
I haven't had anything disappear yet, but I have always finished reading by months end (I borrowed Hunger Games in December and Catching Fire in January)
The Georgia Center for the Book is touting the World Book Night [link] Participants get 20 books to distribute to people who aren't really readers. They decide who participates based on their statement of how they would give away the books. I'm thinking about it, but I'd have to figure out something to say by Wednesday. You have to have read and liked the book, so my choice would have to be between The Stand, The Hunger Games, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Kindred. I like Q is for Quarry, but giving someone a book in the middle of a long series doesn't strike me as something that would encourage reading.
I applied to give Absolute..Indian.
I'm trying to figure out if there's a recognized group I could apply to donate to. There are a lot of underserved kids in this community, but I'm not sure what channel to give through.
My thought was all the people in waiting rooms at Kaiser and the ER who sit there with nothing to read, waiting. I figure anyone who doesn't have a book there is either a nonreader or desperate for a book. One problem is that giving The Stand to sick people seems wrong.
