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."

In strange shelving stories, when I was a kid I found "Animal Farm" had originally been classified as a children's book ... someone explained to the librarians and it was reclassified as a book for grown-ups, but the original stamp was visible.
Meanwhile - an important fact I have learned from Stiletto : the Dutch put chocolate sprinkles on their toast.
For breakfast most mornings, apparently.

I love the sound of the first book, a vintage Hollywood mystery with Edith Head (!) as one of the detectives.
Ooh!
I read that for the Agatha awards(it was nominated for Best First mystery- alas, it didn't win.) and enjoyed it greatly.
Crowd-sourced "literature map" that lets you see "readers who like this author also like" in a very nice graphical format.
Very cool - investigating a new author in another tab even as we speak!
The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss is awesome
As a reward to myself this morning, after cleaning up several times after a sick dog, I added this one to my Nook. I have to laugh at myself since I already have many years worth of unread volumes in paper and electronic form here. But I deserved a reward and the reviews from my friends are making it irresistible.
People, The Strenge Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss is awesome, and you should all go read it. Jilli, I think it's especially up your alley.
I have it from the library. As soon as I finish the two books ahead of it, I'm reading it.
Aha, it's available on Audible and I have a credit. That'll do.
