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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Awesome! Assuming the publisher is willing to change it, of course.

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

Our wings are not tired.
That's great that Ethan has a book coming out!

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.

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?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The Dark is Rising books? Madeline L'Engle? Some Neil Gaiman, like Coraline or Neverwhere or Stardust?

... or what Dana said. Or Tamora Pierce, perhaps? Protector of the Small isn't too romancy.
There's also Nnedi Okorafor's fantasies: Akata Witch, Windspeaker, and I memfault the other one. Or Delia Sherman's The Freedom Maze, also written for younger readers.
