Hey Jilli, I posted in tech not sure if you saw--I got a new fitbit, so if you want to try one you're welcome to my old one.
Ohmygosh, really? Thank you, that would be fabulous!

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."

Sure--maybe we can arrange to get together this weekend?

Possibly, yes. Let me double-check the weekend schedule with the Loomy One.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I believe there was some discussion of The Fault in Our Stars here before? I just finished it, and now I must read everything John Green has ever written.

Hey. New board.
I just finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson and am currently reading An Abundance of Katherines. I can definitely support reading everything John Green has ever written. Looking for Alaska was really good too.

It will be more like listening to everything John Green has ever written. I may go on a John Green binge after I finish Duma Key, as read by John Slattery.

Because books.
Tell me how you like it, P-C. I thought Duma was pretty good, and a little more heartbreaking than usual, even though he could have edited it down.

I'm over a disc into it, and it's not really grabbing me. I'm considering giving it up and just going on the John Green binge instead. Is there anything supernatural about this book at all? I haven't really read any of King's non-supernatural stuff besides some short stories maybe.

Oh, yes, it's quite supernatural and actually pretty creepy toward the end. I quite liked it. It and "Bag of Bones" (DO NOT watch the miniseries!) are my faves of his latest stuff.

Like I said, he could have edited large chunks of it, so the pace is a little slow. But once you get to the Key and meet the other players, it's fantastic. I thought, anyway.
