It's a character in Crazy Rich Asians, right?
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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.
I have an old children's book that was my mom's and the doll in it is named Araminta.

FWIW.

There was also the author who tried to trademark "dragon slayer" ... don't think that ever went anywhere.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wonder if anyone at P&G remembers when their logo was rumored to be satanic.

Oh yeah. They do. And they get really salty if you bring it up. (Source: I know several P&Gers and like to stir the pot.)

Does anyone here want a nice hardcover copy of Isabel Allende's an Infinite Plan? I picked it up at the library bookstore the other day and then realized I already owned it.
