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."

Thank you, Sox! I missed that story when I was on vacation last week and a friend posted about it just using his initials and I couldn't figure out who "JF" was.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Does anyone have any book suggestions for an 8 year old boy entering the 3rd grade? Preferably something slightly less well known that he may not have found on his own?

The Boy at the End of the World is fun!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Anyone else read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? I'm underwhelmed.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I remember these from when I was about that old:

Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat
