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."

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."

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

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!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We went to the Merrimack Valley Halloween book festival today with vw. It was wonderful. vw and I went to a couple panels and I bought a ton of books and found even more authors to look into. Then we went to lunch, vw and family went home, and I waited around for Joe Hill to sign my books. His panel was booked up, but some people didn't show up, so they let me in. I don't know how these things work hippocampus, but I would love it if you were there next year.

Ah SJ that would be so much fun! If invited, I almost always say yes unless I have a prior.
