Joyce ,'Never Leave Me'
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."
Catching up in Natter, followed some links and found this, and found it touching:

All these people saying they never got their Hogwarts letter: you got the letter. You went to Hogwarts. We were all there together.

Of course it happened inside your head, but why on earth should that mean it wasn’t real?

And I just bought it.
Do I want to see Paper Towns next week? I haven't read any John Green.
Apparently the movie is cute. It wasn't my favorite John green book though I liked it didn't but it is probably the best one to turn into a movie. I hope to see it.
In a fit of complete irresponsibility, I fell victim to Unshelved's adorable card catalog USB drives.
Then I was further seduced in getting it with the PDFs of all their collected comics.
I've decided to back up all the fic I've ever downloaded to it. Because card catalog.
On the plus side, I paid for it with the money I've received from selling figs and gaming thingies. Trading things I don't have a use for for things I want. Kind of like barter.
Unshelved is good stuff! And those USB drives are adorable.
How did I miss that Unshelved has two more books that I haven't read?? So glad they charge so little for Priority Mail!
And then I got home and realized that I do actually own one of them, it was just on the wrong shelf so I forgot about it. Oops.
