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."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"la maison qui chemine" = literally, the house that walks along (a path) but I'd probably say the wandering house.

I am totally in love with this phrase now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I just got an email telling me that the new Skulduggery Pleasant book is on its way to me! Supposedly it will take 2 weeks, since it's coming from the UK, but I think the previous books I've ordered from the UK have gotten here more quickly.

And I just got an updated email that it should be here on Wednesday. At least Amazon UK is consistent with beating its estimated delivery date by a week.

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

Wow! And me trying to be financially responsible.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Last night I went to a book trivia night sponsored by the local library and held in my favorite bar. The head librarian said they'd been tasked with more community outreach, and that they were planning to interpret that as "find ways to meet book-loving people in as many local bars as possible". [Your deity here] bless librarians.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Books, Booze, Buffistas - a match made in heaven!

New Skulduggery Pleasant book has landed!!! (Too much work and migraine to sit down and read it right now, but I don't even care. It's still on the premises.)

Thrive to spite them

My nephew's 9th birthday is in August. He's already been talking about what he wants and he said he wanted a book about myths. We were taking about them and last year his teacher read from a book of Greek myths and he liked it.

So any suggestions on books of myths suitable for a 9 year old/rising 3rd grader? He reads a little above his grade level on his own. Greek myths and also from other cultures.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I was a huge fan of this book: [link]
