I don't know if these are classic, but at a glance they are obscure! [link]
In other news, you know what I hate? When the blurb on the back of a book describes things that take place half way through it!
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am definitely going to check these out. So far I have read two true crime and one Oprah book club.
Amazon recommended a male/male pirate romance by someone named Kiera Andrews. I thought "a new one from her!She's good!". It was kindle unlimited so I signed up for the free trial. When I finished, I wanted to see if she had anything else new As I was looking through, I realized I had never read her before, and then I remembered that there was a Kiera Andrews way back when I was still track g her only and printing out fix who wrote 2 of my favorite Pacey/ Joey Dawson's Creek fics! they disappeared without a trace Probably 15 years Ago! I wonder if It is the same person?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Sophia, you are thinking of Kate Andrews. I think she *might* be the same person who was svilleficrecs on LJ, whom I used to have on my Flist way back when I was active, but not 100% sure. She was great at writing some scorching UST if I recall.

Yes! that is right! I am so bad with names. I am glad it lead me to this romance author because she is good too. But I did love those fics and wish I saved the printouts!
I was hoping you would show up. I miss the days when I knew I would love anything you recommended.

Hahaha, I used to read a lot more fic, both in volume and scope, back then. Dawson's Creek fanfic, oh man. I feel so old. :))

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I am looking for recommendations for a children's classic (pre 1980).
The Phantom Tollbooth
The Great Brain
A Summer To Die
Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry
It's Like This, Cat
Picking a theme could be an interesting reading challenge. [link]

Kiera Andrew's work sounded interesting, so I went to check it out. There's a novella of hers currently available for free if anyone wants to give her work a try: [link]
It's 18th c Canadian wilderness rather than pirates, but it's still M/M.

I got a call from my uncle this morning thanking me for the books I sent to my cousin and her kids. He said I managed to replace some of the favorites that were lost in the fire. So excellent advice, people! Thank you!

Yay, aurelia! That's lovely.
