Eleanor and Park is on sale on kindle today for $2.99. I know a lot of buffistas have read it and liked it.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.
'Beneath You'
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."

Spend $2.99! I approve! (not that anyone needs my approval).

I already did. Of course I still can't read the book because my kindle died this week and the replacement hasn't arrived yet.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You can use the Kindle app on your phone or your computer! Do not deny yourself a great book!

I have the Kindle Cloud Reader or Kindle Apps installed on most of my electronic devices, so I usually read on whatever device is closest to hand. The apps sync so it remembers where you left off: [link]
I also need to download the load of books I bought on Cyber Monday so I can strip them of DRM in case of shenanigans.

I prefer lack of glare from the kindle for reading books. Luckily the replacement will be here tomorrow, and my house is still filled with books and magazines in the meantime.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do parents or otherwise have suggestions for books on grieving pets / pet loss. Maybe aged seven ish. Hivemind, help?

Compassionately intolerant
Cass, I wish I had a better suggestion for you both for your sake and for mine! The only books I have seen, or have been given to me, are pretty heavy on the religious implications.
The one I have is is sweet, but would not do for referring to my clients.
It is Dog Heaven.
I'd love to see other suggestions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mother gave me The Tenth Good Thing About Barney, a kids' book, when my cat died, and it made me cry and cry. But maybe in a good way? Anyway, it's about a small boy with a dead cat.

Cass, the advice columnist Carolyn Hax always recommends Lifetimes [link] as a book to explain death to kids. If that doesn't work, then maybe some of the "also viewed" links will help.
