I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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."

Hey. New board.

I had never read them, but the middle grade squirrel girl novels by the same writers are super awesome.

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

Has anyone read Sawkill Girls? I started it last night, but found it to be moving very slow. I didn't see any friend reviews on Goodreads.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Tom, now you've got me considering first editions of a book from 1869.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

An excerpt from The Heart of the Circle by Keren Landsman, which I really, really, really want you all to read.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Very interesting, Shir!

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

OK, I'll read that.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I recommended it for purchase by my library.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, wonderful!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

If you've been missing the Buffyverse (and/or just want a fun, quick -- if not slightly predictable -- read), Kiersten White's Slayer is pretty good. IIRC, it's the first in a series, and I liked Slayer enough that I'll read the rest.
