Willow ,'Empty Places'
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."
Has anyone over here burbled about Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess) and her split-your-sides-laughing memoir Let’s Pretend This Never Happened? [link]
Because seriously, people, I haven’t laughed that hard in...I don’t know how long. And it’s also tender and so heartbreaking in places that you’ll want to cry, but then it becomes incredibly, inappropriately hilarious again and you’re back to nearly peeing yourself. I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Pix, I just finished it this afternoon. I really liked it, and I managed to wake my husband up twice while I was reading it late at night because I was unsuccessfully trying to silent laugh. It was damn funny!
Pix, I am totally planning on getting that and reading it. I am a huge fan of hers. Glad to hear it stands up to her blog!!
this made me laugh out loud last night.
best animals being dicks.
There's like half on this list that just hit my funnybone.
I've actually seen Jenny Lawson's book in the store ... but I'm trying to avoid buying hardbacks.
I did, however, knowing her love of taxidermied animals, send her a link to a story about The Famous Tommy Tucker (a squirrel, rasised by a woman, who'd dress him up and take him around). He's spending eternity dressed in pink satin and pearls (he wore dresses because tail + pants = problems).
good grief. I think I posted that in the wrong thread!
I was a mite confused but thought maybe it was somehow relevant because of F U, Penguin. Somehow.
I just finished Timeless ! I think I know what Jilli is gleebling about!
I liked it more than the last two, to my surprise. I thought I was just reading out of inertia (although I do enjoy the books), but I felt an unexpected fondness for the characters and the world.

EEEEEEEee! IVY IS A VAMPIRE QUEEN!
Pete is finally reading it, and when he read the bit about the play, he said "Oh, that's why you're happy, because Ivy played a vampire queen in that ridiculous production". Ha, no! It's better than that!
Also, OMG BIFFY AND LYALL! I want to draw sparkly hearts around them.
I also want more of Lord Akeldama's adventures in parenting, because I love how he dotes on Prudence.
I was sorry Ivy didn't stay in Egypt, because I like the idea of "Ivy, Queen of the Desert." Vampire millinery will never be the same.
