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!!
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

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."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
this made me laugh out loud last night.
best animals being dicks.
There's like half on this list that just hit my funnybone.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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).

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

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
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.

Prudence was a delight. I also really enjoyed all the science!! Well, you know "science"!! I appreciate a scientifically curious heroine.

I want all the stories of Ivy's reign as the Vampire Queen of London! I especially want to know what Lord Akeldama's reaction to it.
