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."
If you're a fan of Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence
EEEEEE!!!! I just read these recently and adored them. I'm probably too late to contribute a question, but if I'm not, Sox, do please tell him that he's got at least 1 fan in St. Louis who is very much looking forward to reading Full Fathom Five.
I'm editing it now to post by noon - but you can tell him in the comments, if you want. I'll make sure he sees it.
If anyone has fond memories of The Dragon Prince back in the day, Judith Tarr is doing a reread of the trilogy by Melanie Rawn over at Tor.com.

A conversation on Facebook sent me to Abe Books to buy Elizabeth Enright's Melendy books and the Gone-Away Lake books. Here's hoping the childhood magic won't be ruined. I tried to find affordable editions close to the date I read them, hoping they haven't been "updated".
I just read The Saturdays to my kids, a modern paperback edition, and I would be very surprised if it had been updated at all. It definitely read "book written in 1940s."
Just started Shades of Milk and Honey, based on recs here. So far, so awesome!
Hooray! The books get better and better. The first is the weakest by far, in my opinion, so if you're enjoying it, you'll LOVE the others. I was just recommending the series to JZ.
It definitely read "book written in 1940s."
Oh, good. I'm looking forward to understanding all the wartime references much better.
I found two copies of the big omnibus version I repeatedly devoured in grade school, but they wanted at least $80 for it. I actually thought about it for a second, but rationality overrode me. And I got all the books for $20.
Joe Hill is going to be a local Barnes & Noble next week signing The Wraith graphic novel (companion to NOS4A2. I can't wait!
