James Patterson on encouraging kids to read
Aw, good for him. I read some of his books back in the day.
I was afraid it would be about how he thinks it's stupid to encourage kids to read, like that idiot who hates libraries.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I'm reading Gooseberry Bluff, as one does, and the next section isn't coming out for three weeks?? The horror!!

I started it last night. I thought it was three weeks from the first release date, so two weeks from now?

That helps some. But still!

I'm almost done with A Brief History of Montmaray and now I'm panicking because I don't have the next one right here, right now.

That was AWESOME. (I finished it Friday night and never posted.) Also sad! But appropriate, and *also* hopeful and full of possibilities!
I'm going to finish Maisie Dobbs and wait for another paycheck before I think about the next Montmaray, though. See me being virtuous.

Hee! You why I kept referencing I Capture the Castle? The others aren't so much like that, but they're still lovely. I really loved the characters, even the dog.

Carlos is fantastic. And yes, I want to reread I Capture the Castle as soon as I finish these books. I loved that one.
For whatever reason, Veronica FitzOsborne reminded me of Plei. I kept seeing a very young Plei with long hair and very intense eyes.

I'm wanting to add novel, et al., reviews....but I don't think it's very politic for me on my business site.
It seems I take the Goodeads road, though I heard it can be confusing.
Or...I can redo my older blog; there are so many cool things to blog about.
