Spike ,'Showtime'
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."
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?
I should read that.
All yall should read Wonder. It is very good.
Yes, yes you will.
But you won't regret it.
I love Wonder. I added to our 6th grade reading list, actually.
I gotta read Verity.
Every middle schooler in our school is reading it over the summer. I am looking forward to the all school read discussion for the first time since I cane here.
Am I going to be heartbroken?
Yes, yes you will.
But you won't regret it.
Oh, as usual, dear. Well, I can't put it aside while I gird up my loins - it's a library book (overdue). I shall just have to dive in with new fierceness of purpose (and brace myself).
Why'd it have to be so well written, drat it.
I loved that book.
I'm on the third Montmaray book now, and loving it, as well.
Sara read Wonder and she adored it. I want to read it, too.
I just started Code Name Verity too! And I also picked up the second book (I think it's a sequel, or at least has some of the same characters?) at the same time -- they were in an airport bookstore in Heathrow, and I couldn't resist.
Also, a big thank you to everyone who recommended Among Others by Jo Walton. I read it this week and, oh, it made me so happy.
