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.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

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."

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."

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

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.

I wonder who I could check with to find out if 1) Prince Lestat is going to have ARCs, and 2) who do I flail at to get my mitts on one.
