Ooh that sounds very interesting Amy!!
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mm, I like The Hands of the Emperor so much. Pops into my head as something to contemplate pretty often
ETA: ooh, novella prequel I haven’t read! Petty Treasons

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hands of the Emperor looks so good--I wish they had it in trade paper.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Bev, can you see if your library has an electronic copy? That's how I'm reading it.

I've started working at the library bookstore again. So, if there is anything people are looking for leave me a message here or at my profile address, and I'll look next time I'm there.
I scored a hardcover edition of Charlotte's Web for ltc today, as well as a bunch of things for myself.

The first book I ever bought (excluding the Scholastic ordering at school) was from a Friends of the Library sale I ran into at Dadeland Mall. I must've read that book a dozen times.

Aurelia, I suggest The Busses are a Comin. Bonus, it's written by one of my high school history teachers!
My favorite stand alone KJC book is Wanted: A Gentleman. I actually found it in our library system! Having read all of her books, I can say she's got such incredible range within her historical contexts.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Cashmere, that's a good one! Although I think my favorites may still be the Magpie Lord series.

I picked up Charm Offensive last week. It’s a quirky, queer romance with lines like this:
He’s not entirely sure what you’re supposed to do when you discover your sort-of friend who you also like to kiss might have clinical depression, but he figures he could start by talking to Dev.
It’s, dare I say, charming?
