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.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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."

Because books.

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!

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!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Divergent. I would recommend this and I think it is age-appropriate. If she liked Hunger Games this is a less violent, less apocalyptic themed novel. Less violent is not NO violence, but since she liked HG, I am recommending it.
I read the first book in a day and a half, so I think that bodes well for being an interesting read.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Sophie, what about the Star Wars or Star Trek tie-in novels? Or the original ST Ship's Logs? Those are pretty straight forward, some of them.
Or some old-school SF, like Andre Norton?
