My diamond shoes are too tight. I have to click on each of my 450 kindle books individually to download them to the device and then put it back on it's correct shelf.

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."

I found this list at The Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement . (scroll down)
I don't recognize any of the titles.
The best book anyone gave me when Bartleby died was Going Home by Jon Katz. It's obviously not for kids but it really helped me.

Hey. New board.
When I bought Eleanor and Park, I got a promotional code that let me get four more YA books for $0.99 each. So I now have two books in an urban fantasy series I don't know called Guards of the Shadowlands, Kiss and Make Up, and Nickel Plated, plus Eleanor and Park itself, for a grand total of $7. Not bad! Even if only one of those four turns out to be enjoyable, it's a worthwhile deal. (I'm going to assume E&P is great cuz y'all are trustworthy).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ah, thank you. I will look through those. I'm thinking you can't go too wrong with Mr Rogers when caring is the topic.
Man, losing pets is trauma. And that little boy was pure stoic until he just started crying and, ugh, my heart.

not your mom's socks.
I posted a list of favorite books & short stories from 2013 this morning, though I know I missed a bunch. I don't know if I can keep publishing this list. My nerves. My heart. [link]

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I hope they go with talented semi-knowns, rather than someone with Hiddleston-level recognition. I kind of dread fandom reaction if a fandom darling gets cast.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Yeah, I saw a made-up poster with Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston and rolled my eyes so hard they almost fell off.
The Aziraphale in my head has always looked like circa-Pygmalion Leslie Howard. Not sure which contemporary actor would fit that bill.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey. New board.
Fandom may worship them, but to the rest of the world both Hiddleston and Cumberbatch definitely qualify as talented semi-knowns.
If they cast Brad Pitt and Will Smith, on the other hand... (Though Brad Pitt could actually make a pretty amazing Crowley if he channeled the right parts of his abilities.)
