Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

It is killing me that school is robbing me of my pleasure reading availability. I'm struggling just to keep up with my school reading. I haven't read either yet but they are definitely on my to-be-read list. I get so excited when I see your success, Sox. I'm so happy for you and one of these days I'll get to read for fun again.

not your mom's socks.

Oh Sophie can you get me a screen grab?

you guys are wonderful. I am in the middle of an out of nowhere panic attack and just -- ughh. But this is lovely to read and is helping.

Sox, done and sent to your profile address. Happy to help!

Coding and Sleeping

Sox, I have a copy of Updraft waiting for me to read it

It's really good. I listened to the audiobook and very much enjoyed it.

Sophie, thank you! and Gud, thank you so much for saying that - I hope things are better soon.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm reading it soon! So excited!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Would Updraft/Cloudbound be good for a 2nd grader who has read all of Harry Potter? I feel like yes, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can't think of any reason why not.

Me neither, I just feel like I don't actually know about kids!

Yeah, not my area of expertise, either. But I figure anyone who read all of Harry Potter will be up for Updraft. Unless they are hardcore wizard narratives only, I guess.
