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."
Oh, come on! Don't impalers deserve love, too?
No. They need the blood of their enemies. It's bad enough there are stacks of Oh, Dracula isn't a monstrous predator, he's a brokenhearted woobie and his Tru Wuv Mina can save him! books out there.

Coffeeandink has a great how-to guide on using Calibre to manage books from a variety of sources, dealing with DRM, and porting them over to an e-reader. [link]
Oh, that's going to be very handy! Thanks, Consuela.
Casper is rereading Farmer Boy and asking for Little House on the Prairie. I just read something lauding Betsy-Tacy as a non-racist alternative to LHOP. I've never read them - is there much pioneer-ness in Betsy-Tacy? I have a recollection we have fans - who wants to pimp them to me?
I loved Betsy-Tacy when I was a kid! But I don't remember much pioneering in them. They reminded me more of Anne of Green Gables, I think? Don't quote me though, it's been decades so my memories are beyond fuzzy.
Isn't it worth it to let her read the books and then discuss the issues of racism?
Oh, definitely, it is just takes some work for me! She hasn't had much of anything about westward expansion at school yet, and the Settlement of Ohio stuff dealt with native americans pretty mimimally. So I'd have to do more background (compared with, say, discussing slavery, which she knows a ton about.)
Betsy Tacy I don't remember being pioneer-y at all, but I did love them.
That's true, flea.
I don't think I read Betsy Tacy, but I did read Understood Betsy, which I loved.
