Yeah, I think I will have The Divergent Talk tomorrow. I guess this is the epitome of tween-dom, having a kid who wants to read Little House on the Prairie (and yes, we've had a talk about what "Indian Territory" means) and Divergent at the same time.
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

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.
Yeah, Sara's there, too. She still plays with her dolls, but she wants to play with makeup at the same time.

Hey, some of us didn't grow out of that stage.

Bad example! Sorry.

No, it's a great example! I'm just really amused by it, because after I get home from my job interview today, I am going to play with the doll I was given for my birthday.

Interview~ma, Jilli.
I was reading wildly inappropriate things when I was not much older that Casper. My mother was sort of strict about movies and TV shows, but she never said no to a book. Although she wasn't buying them for me either. I was either buying them myself or getting them out of the library.

I was reading my mom's books when I ran out of mine. I'll never forget looking up "officious" when I read that the hotel manager was an "officious little prick" on the first page of The Shining.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am pretty sure I read Fear of Flying when I was Casper's age! But I may be traumatized! My mom had so many books that she hadn't read, and I was usually at home with my grandma, so no one really bothered about what I read.
