'Safe'
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."
The BBC is producing the first two books of Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series, Into the Woods and The Likeness, as an 8-part series. I am excited and I really hope they get it right. [link]
The writer is the same one who wrote the latest And Then They Were None. Which I liked, but didn't love.
Oooh!
Vortex, thank you. I am being safe as I can.
hippocampus, I'm so sorry you have to deal with a stalker. Take care.

That is exciting. I feel they can be done right.
It has been great having DH here, but he really cuts into my reading time. Big hopes for today because he has gone to my nephew's football game. Now to get off the computer and onto my Nook!
You guys! Thanks to a random Etsy search, I am getting a silkscreened portrait of Ray Bradbury, made with the text of "The Homecoming" (my favorite work by him), and SIGNED BY BRADBURY. [link]
Score! Nice, Jilli.
I feel like others may appreciate this, from my current read:
"When you are in the middle of a story it isn't a story at all, but only a confusion; a dark roaring, a blindness, a wreckage of shattered glass and splintered wood; like a house in a whirlwind, or else a boat crushed by the icebergs or swept over the rapids, and all aboard powerless to stop it. It's only afterwards that it becomes anything like a story at all. When your are telling it, to yourself or to someone else."
So true.
I like the idea that a lot of our cognition is turning things (events, sensory inputs, whatever) into stories. That that's kind of what being human is all about.
Mary Stewart's mysteries are finally available in digital format. There is joy in the world.
