Discussion Threads

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."

There's also lots of stuff re-writing the Bible. My fav is Mark Twain's "Diary of Adam and Eve".

Mine would probably be Paul Rudnick's play The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told. But you'd really have to be sure of your readers to avoid someone getting offended.

I very much enjoyed When You Reach Me but not as much as I like her most recent book.

I very much enjoyed When You Reach Me but not as much as I like her most recent book.

I liked it very much but I suspect that has much to do with it being almost the exact timeline of my life.

I didn't realize she had a new book out.

megan, it's called Liar & Spy. Not super new, but I bought it last summer in hardcover and read it before reading When You Reach Me.

Liar & Spy was just so astute about children and their experiences and so good at being surprising right up to the end. Quite a lovely book.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Since there are no new episodes of Hannibal for a while, I decided I needed to re-read the books. However, I couldn't find them on my bookshelf. So, I bought them again at the library bookstore today, for 50 cents each.

You got fleeced for the 4th one at that price.

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

So, I bought them again at the library bookstore today, for 50 cents each.

I love library book sales.

I love my library bookstore. I volunteer there and am working there tomorrow. There are some awesome sci-fi books on the shelf right now, practically new, that sadly I already own. Everything in the store is under $4.
