Congrats, Barb!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even 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."

RIP Natalie Babbitt.
I have a distinct problem with 2016. It is breaking my heart in a thousand pieces.
Tonight especially.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh man. That's a tough one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Also, I saw that Sherri S. Tepper had died.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
While hunting down covers for ebook versions of books I owned and must therefore have the proper covers for, I discovered this article about Rilla of Ingleside:
And at the end, it mentions:
Republished in 2011 in an unabridged version, including 4,500 words cut from the initial publication and contextual notes for the modern reader, Rilla is due to be rediscovered as a classic.
Has anyone read this unabridged version?

Rilla was just the book on Billfold today (they do a series on books and money) and they mentioned that toast article! I don't think I've re-read it since I was in high school though. The one their series made me want to re-read was the Betsy-Tacy books
