Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

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."

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I've read The Circular Staircase (mostly because I thought it was the inspiration for Siodmak's The Spiral Staircase, another Old Dark House mystery that was actually based on Ethel Lina White's Some Must Watch. She also wrote The Wheel Spins, on which Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes was based and which I have read as well. The movie is better.)

Regardless, The Circular Staircase contains one of my favorite lines anywhere: "I stirred my tea angrily."

I haven't seen any of the versions of The Bat though I'd like to at some point.

Our wings are not tired.

Goodreads reminded me that I could read The Ship of Stolen Words so that is now on my Nook. Yay!

I spent the weekend bingeing on Jenny Colgan novels. Which are not quite cotton candy: the writing is pretty good, and she spends a lot of time on scenery and food. And now I want to go visit the Scottish Highlands.

not your mom's socks.

The b.org party in the chat at the bookstore last night filled me with so much joy. It was wonderful to see you, there's a whole lot of the livestream on my youtube channel, and good gosh I miss you all.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I have it on preorder! I can't remember how I came across it, probably Twitter?
