yeah, I am sure the have a short hand, but I'm scared to guess what it might be.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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."

Hey - question for writerly types. DH is trying to get his publisher to change the title of his book slightly, but they've already put it in their catalog for librarians/bookstores to order, and it has a pre-order page on Amazon. How set in stone is a title once that's all in play?

Because books.
Pretty set, unfortunately. It would also depend on the cover -- if anything's been printed, he's probably out of luck. That includes the sales catalog for that season, too.

Nothing's been printed, the graphics dept just came up with a first draft cover yesterday. The book doesn't come out until next February!

Oh, then it should be fine!

Awesome! Assuming the publisher is willing to change it, of course.

They've got their eggs in some baskets pretty early, there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I told by BFF that I would ask you guys for reading recommendations for her daughter. She is a rising 8th grader who is not a natural reader, but has really outgrown the young readers (she liked Junie B. Jones). She likes Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and The Omen. She loves musicals,video games, Star Wars/Star Trek and is impatient and easily bored. She does not seem particularly interested in romance.She does not like things that her mother and I liked as kids, like Little Women, Little House on the Prairie, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, etc.
The only thing we came up with was Stephen King-- she would probably also like VC Andrews, but we hesitate to recommend it!
