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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My library website is down, so I'm just going to leave it here that Sharp Objects is the Gillian Flynn book I haven't read yet.

I was cleaning the house and found a piece of paper that had a list of 6 books on it (in my handwriting). I had been writing books down that I thought I might look into with no other reasons listed. So I ordered them from the library and I'm enjoying them.

Sharp Objects is the Gillian Flynn book I haven't read yet.
