SO thrilled for you Barb!!!
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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 will have to re-read Grass and the others in her honor.

These are coooool. I wish was an author so I could get my work printed on a scarf! In all the colors!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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

Dana, in the comments to that post someone notes that it's not one chunk of text, but bits of it scattered throughout.

I'm going to have to get my hands on it. It's definitely a book I've come to enjoy more as I've aged. I kind of resented not having more stories about Anne when I was younger.
