Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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."

Holy crap. The entire Oz collection is on sale at Amazon (Kindle) for only $.99! [link]

ETA: Whoa, and the Anne of Green Gables books, the Peter Pan books, and a collection of 16 classic horror stories (including Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow). Sweet sale!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Some of that might be public domain. I know the Anne books are, and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

No bonus features or illustrations, though.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Amy, I read about the rewrite in EW. I was wondering if it was metaphorical, relating to something else or if it was a reset entirely. I'm not sure.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Some of that might be public domain.

Yeah, I'll bet most of it is on Project Gutenberg. Might be better formatting in those versions, though.

Ah, sneaky. Still, $.99 is still worth it for the convenience.

Another version for $.99, with all books illustrated, instead of just the first.

I might have to pick that up, even though I'm pretty sure I already have the other version. (It comes with a warning that it might load slowly because of all the illustrations. Might just have to get me some o dat).

Aaaaand I bought both of them. I've never read any of the Oz books, so I'm ok spending $1.98 for them now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

$2 for not having to find them and/or decide which ones to get? Yeah, that's reasonable.

I bought the super illustrated one. I haven't read them since I was a kid - my grandmother had them, so I read them when we stayed with her, so they have that vacation-y treat patina for me.

Totally worth the convenience.
