Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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."

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you! I was time zone confused.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Bread Mage made me cry, too. I really enjoyed it, though.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I just got it ... looking forward to it! (and, since almost everyone seems to have sourdough starter, the paper - in its children's page - said kids could treat it like a pet ... it needs feeding and care ... but you never have to walk it or clean up after it).

The status is NOT quo.

Bread Mage was one of my absolute favorite books of the summer.

I've enjoyed everything of hers that I've read - a limited number, I have to admit. I look forward to exploring more of her writing ... I just have a large number of books on my e-reader. And, having just moved, a certain amount of my time has to be devoted to unpacking .... mostly books. sigh ....

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

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

I've been reading the Paddington Bear chapter books to ltc, and she loves them. Any suggestions on other good chapter books for an almost 5 year old? I really like that each chapter in the Paddington books is it's only little story because if chapters end on cliffhangers there is sometimes a tantrum for another chapter.

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

Any suggestions on other good chapter books for an almost 5 year old?

Maybe Amelia Bedelia books?

That's a good idea. I loved those as a kid.
