Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yaaaayyy! Well done, you!

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

Congrats! And the speech was beautiful.

not your mom's socks.

Thanks so much you all !! Secret (sorta) board mentions in the speech of course.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My almost-teen is trying to remember the name of a book: something about kids who go behind a waterfall in a car and get sucked into a video game or fantasy world? Google is getting me nowhere.

[edit - we found it! [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You should have searched on Ziggy Marley all along!

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

Started The Wedding Date on Sunday and am now partway through The Wedding Party. So good.

Because books.

I just started Sherry Thomas's A Study in Scarlet Women, and it's good! Another female Sherlock thing, but it's pretty clever.

Also reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January, and it's really wonderful.
