Huh, I've bought tons of Kindle books! Where's my e-mail??
Sad high five of no credit to spend, either.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

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."

Have any of you read The Madwoman Upstairs by Catherine Lowell? It's excellent. Just surprising and smart and funny.

Okay, I now officially own the Hamiltome. Woo!
Seriously, though, I'm impressed with the paper stock used. It's *nice*.
RIGHT?? I am trying to be so delicate with it when I read it.

I got $58.47 which was a happy surprise! I already spent a big chunk of it. But not on books though. (I already have waaaay too much to read!)
Speaking of Hamilton, I gave the CD and the Hamitome to my best friend (she lives in Hamilton, OH and hadn't heard of it!) She's an addict now.
I also gave the CD and the Hamilton Biography to my dad for father's day. I warned him that he might not like the musical, but he actually likes it! (Not loves, but he finds it interesting.)
So, yay me!

I love the "cut pages" effect on the Hamiltome. I also like the 18th century style chapter headers.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's been showing up in my recommendations.

Thrive to spite them
One of the negative reviews for the Hamiltome I read was a complaint about the edges being ragged and not liking getting a damaged book. Feature it's a feature person.

Amy and aurelia, it's really enjoyable. I picked it up from the library because the there was a blurb by Deborah Harkness. Then when I was returning another book, there was another book with a Deborah Harkness blurb so I picked that one up too. I want Deborah Harkness to recommend books to me from now on.

I still have to read her books, actually.
