I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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."

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

If you are bitten by a selkie, do you transform into a creature whose sealskin can only be stolen when the moon is full?

I think that's the plot of the next Chuck Tingle book...

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

The oral defense for that thesis is sure to draw a crowd.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

If anyone's interested, K.J. Charles' "Magpie Lord" e-books are free today. I really liked them.

I basically spent today reading Piranesi. I have no regrets. Susanna Clarke is good at what she does.

Oh, is it out already? Awesome. Shall have to see if the library is going to get it. (I would buy it but I don't think Susanna Clark really needs my cash.)

Nothing wrong with the library. I had pre-ordered in a fit of impatience so it magically appeared on my kindle, I do enjoy that when it happens
