Jessica convinced me long ago. I feel so cutting edge.
It was the only titled I was bummed to see on The Readers summer book club list because Jess had been so vehement awhile back it stuck in my brain.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

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."

We think we have mice again, and Tim brought home a Hav-A-Hart trap, and my first reaction was "We could have Aeslin mice!!!"

Tep, I think that you should leave out some cake and maybe scraps of fabric to encourage them.

That's great, P-C! I really enjoyed the world building in Discount Armageddon.

Article here about The Handmaid's Tale by Atwood herself. Not much substance, mostly a description of how it was written and received.....
...except she does the Margaret Atwood thing again: My book isn't X because all X is such-and-such, and that's not what my book is.
It's "feminist dystopia" instead of "science fiction", but the song remains the same.
