Loves me some Sisterhood series. May need a reread. And a rewatch of the movie. Soon.

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Kristin made me buy a book once. It's all good. (Hypocrite in a Poofy White Dress. It was faboo)
She made me buy the same book!!!
Did you read Kiss My Tiara yet? Same author - Susan Gilman. Tho can't blame Kristin for that one. Toddson gets all the credit.
Gris, I thought of you when I finished it. I like to think that like Elliott from Pete's Dragon, the Pants went to another set of girls.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think Mom's reading Kiss My Tiara now. I know it's in the family rotation and I'll get it soon. Right now I'm re-reading Time Traveler's Wife. I was already crying by page 3.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I keep finding books that are perfect for certain people, and deliver them.

Hey. New board.
I love that idea, Aims. It's a pretty idea.
ETA: Somebody should write that fic.

I go out of wifi range for a week and you make the cyberpunk talk? Aiee - I am making office wallpaper out of the thread and wishing I could climb back in it timely-like.
But I have never enjoyed one of his books, and tend to finish them only when trapped on a trans-Atlantic flight. I find him a bit pompous.

But the fact this writer goes out of his way to call out two of the more highly-regarded female authors (Le Guin and Willis; I don't know who wrote "Souls") -- a bit suspect, right there on its face.
Nutty - that and the manifesto-punt have my deepest affection.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I had my job orientation at Barnes & Noble yesterday, and when the manager asked for my availability, I specifically requested to work on Harry Potter night. Their pre-midnight festivities aren't too elaborate (not like the ones in Oak Park), but I still can't wait to see the kids in their outfits all getting excited over a book release!
(Of course, the fact that I'll be there means I can pick up my own book and bring it home after close and start reading it!)

Kathy, can you dress up for the event (assuming you want to)?
And, while I'm not a Harry Potter fan, I'd be tempted to go by just to see the kids in their costumes and getting so excited. (I'm almost that excited about getting Allyson's book in the not-too-distant future.)
