Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like 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."

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

That reminds me, I need to find a copy of Bradbury's The Halloween Tree to reread this October.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Code Name Verity broke me.

Oh dear. I'm in the middle of it now, and I'm loving it (and still holding out for something to "save" it). I tried to resist it for the longest time because of the subject, but I accidentally read the first several pages on Amazon or somewhere and was hooked. Am I going to be heartbroken?

Hey. New board.

Because books.

Yes, yes you will.

But you won't regret it.

The status is NOT quo.

I love Wonder. I added to our 6th grade reading list, actually.
