Buffistas

You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Discussion Threads

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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Buffista parents: I am in search of ~~Where's My Cow~~ A bedtime book that will not make me want to gouge my eyes out by the 5th reading.

Goodnight Moon is RIGHT OUT, and this is one of the few places that I feel that I can trust not to have recommended it in the first place.

Unfortunately, the Ankh-Morpork version of Where's My Cow? was vetoed by Lady Sybil.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, I've seen the released version, and that won't work for me. Sadly, the in-universe book might, but does not seem to exist.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Our bedtime go-to for years was Ten, Nine, Eight by Molly Bang. Pajama Time by Sandra Boynton is great too.

Because books.

We loved Moo, Baa, La La La and pretty much anything by Sandra Boynton.

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

Isn't now your window for "Go The Fuck To Sleep"?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Thanks for the recs. I'm working on trying to create a sleep routine that won't always be built around The Boob, so thinking of having one particular book, and Go the Fuck to Sleep won't work once kiddo has some language.
