I (finally) finished reading Les Miserables. Long, but good. And the melodrama in the musical doesn't even remotely approach the melodrama in the book.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

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 think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Not sure where this goes, but the Lizzie Bennet Diaries vlog-to-dvd project just got way more than their Kickstarter goal: [link]
Awesome! I got way behind, so now I can watch it on my own schedule.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I am debating whether I have $55 to spend on that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I haven't seen any of it at all, and I am definitely tempted to buy the DVD to make watching it easier, but $55 is a lot. But maaaaaaaybe this is what I can use my Oscar pool winnings for.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I had no idea there was a new Kiki Strike book out! And even better, my library has it in! (But I'm in the middle of Etiquette and Espionage, and the Tanith Low book should ship soon, and I think another installment of Knut's book is out this week, yes? It's an embarrassment of book riches.)

Amazon recommended Queen Victoria's Book of Spells: An Anthology of Gaslight Fiction to me - and I thought (if they hadn't recommended to you) then a few here might be interested.

I discovered the Indigo Vat blog this morning and she has a fun project going: Gray Fox Epistles - you would sign up for the story and receive a letter in the mail once a month with that month's part of the story.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
