'Dirty Girls'
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."
My mother's book club decided they needed a name; since they don't tend to like depressing tales, they very nearly chose "The Happy Endings Book Club."
Fortunately their newest member (not my mother, she was clueless) was able to educate them on why that was a poor choice.
OTOH, mash them up with that book club that invited the football player to join them and you have a hilarious sitcom waiting to happen.
I think I know this guy. [link])
Man that guy sounds pretty cool.
I think I come out as 1/8 Cherokee (one great-grandmother was from the reservation in North Carolina). Since I'm culturally about as white as you can get, I've never done anything about it. Genetically ... I seem to be missing most immunities to European diseases.
Actually, dycalculia is not my friend...my brother and I are an eighth.
Just read The Fifth Season, I.e., the new Jemisin and it is excellent. Want next book NOW.
So funny -- I adore Jemisin, but this book did nothing for me. Beautifully written, but I didn’t care about it for some reason.
When my dad did a DNA thing, I believe it suggested he had an unexpectedly high percentage of Sami background. [link] Aside from preferring cooler climes, this hasn't really affected my life--I'm just another white Midwestern cat lady.
Did I mention The Invention of Wings here? My book group read it this month. It was good. I especially admired how Kidd structured it between her two main character's viewpoints.
I don't have the book, yet, but I have the bookplate!
Thank you, Sox, I knew you would have good words for me. It's perfect.

allergies happening now, in my face. Thank you for saying - I'm glad it arrived!
