We just added a Jane Yolen graphic novel about fencing to the school library! I squeed on 3 fronts! (The one before the one she writes about above.)
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's wonderful. I read a bunch of Jane Yolen when I was a kid. I think my favorite was Wizard's Hall.

I bought two. Really didn't need them, but couldn't resist the price.

I'm looking for recommendations for a friend. She just read, and loved, Jo Walton's "Tooth and Claw". Previously she's like Connie Willis' "To Say Nothing of the Dog" and Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere". Any suggestions for what else for me to send?
Thanks. She's got a very busy month coming up and needs something to look forward to when the month is over.

YES, I AGREE WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION.
In my diamond shoes are too tight problems: I have an ARC of Gail Carriager's new book, Espionage and Etiquette. I'm three or four chapters in, and ... it's fun, but it's not grabbing me like the Parasol Protectorate books did.
