You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd better read that, then!

I do recommend the collection. Interesting stuff.

One week to Borderlands!

Because books.

13 quotes from Sense and Sensibility, courtesy of Book Riot: [link]

My favorites right now are:

"The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!"

"It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy; it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others."

The prequel to Practical Magic, The Rules of Magic, was released last week. It is delightful, and I like it better than the original novel. But that's no surprise, because the prequel is all about the Aunts, who are the best characters of the book or movie versions of Practical Magic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But that's no surprise, because the prequel is all about the Aunts, who are the best characters of the book or movie versions of Practical Magic.

Now that you say that, I wouldn't mind seeing a prequel to Pushing Daisies about the Aunts.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That would make a great YouTube series.

Aunts, I think, are kind of the best. Thank you for the rec, Jilli!
