When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Discussion Threads

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."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am not sure if there is anyone else on the board who lives in New York State, but not in/near New york City, but I recently found out that anyone in the state can sign up for a library card for the New York Public library, and then have access to their e-book collections through overdrive (which are far superior to my local library, as hard as they try). It is a financial godsend for someone like me who eats romances and mysteries at about 1 every two days because of my long commute on public transport.

Maybe other states with one big city and a large rural population have something similar? (Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. P aul, Atlanta, maybe Dallas or Austin?)

Texas residents can get a MY Link card from the Houston Public Library and user their Overdrive collection. I don't know whether other Texas cities offer something similar.

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

Oh, that's very cool!

ETA And the SF Public Library resident requirement is just the state. I never would have thought to check!

And Oakland

This is so exciting! I want to travel around the state collecting library cards!

If you live anywhere in Ohio you can get a Cincinnati Public Library card, but you do have to come to a branch location in the city to do so.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I love all the stuff I can get with my library card! I always forget about the downloadable music.

Hey, I live in that state! (Not that there's anything wrong with San Diego libraries, but more is better!

Tim stole my library copy of the graphic novel of A Wrinkle in Time and is reading it (he never read the book, even as a kid). I'm so proud.

Also, it's a fantastic adaptation. Highly recommended.

Heh. He just yelled "TESSERACT!" from the other room. That was a little unnerving.

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

My bff's son turned 12 yesterday and I bought him a few of the graphic novel compilations of Guardians of the Galaxy (2013). He is not a big reader and I always like to get kids books - so I thought this might perk his interest since he is a big fan of the movies.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

He just yelled "TESSERACT!" from the other room. That was a little unnerving.

Should you go check to make sure he's still there?
