I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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."

Because books.

ltc just finished reading Catching Fire, and she is shouting “what!?!” Over and over again. It’s kind of adorable.

One of us, one of us!!!

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

Amy, definitely. Once she was done freaking out she walked out to the living room to get Mockingjay and started it immediately.

I spent most of my afternoon looking at the YA books on my kindle and deciding which ones to family share with ltc. I probably made the process harder than it needs to be. She reads well above her age level and can handle scary things and some violence pretty easily. However, she really doesn’t care for much romance in her books and I’d like to avoid anything overtly sexual or with sa in it. I have not read every book on my kindle shelf and the ones I have read I might not be remembering as clearly as I think I do.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Are you asking for recommendations?
