Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

I started out by loaning her a copy of Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty because someone recommended it here once upon a time, way upstream. Maybe it was AmyLiz?

Possibly! I adored it, but Teppy read it, too.

LOVE. I'm dying for the third one to be released, but I just got a delivery from B&N yesterday with 2 books that should keep me happy. All y'all may have heard of the books -- a romance called Room Service and a book about vampire people.... t /dork

Because books.

::blushes at pimpage::

I just picked up my Vampire People copy yesterday! Had to restrain myself from gushing at the girl who cashed me out about knowing the author.

AmyLiz, I was working at B&N last night and looked on the shelves for you, but we don't have any in stock! I think I'll order a few books and see if I can put at least one of them on the shelves.

I was pimping Vampire People to a customer last night who seemed intrigued by it but had to take her mom home--I'm hoping that she'll come back and pick it up!

Which would make Dumbledore and Slughorn probably somewhere around 100?

Wasn't Dumbledore's age identified in Sorceror's Stone as 151 years?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

When I went to B&N to buy the book, I looked in Film/TV, Essays, Cultural Studies, Memoirs, and basically everywhere else I thought it would be.

Turns out, it was in Humor.

Note to HP fans: the Harry Potter Lexicon appears to be an awesome site for catching up on everything you could possibly need to know before entering Book 7.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Innit purdy? I pre-ordered two at Amazon (just to help get Allyson's author numbers up), but I couldn't wait till they shipped, so when I went to B&N to take a picture of the book in situ, I bought one. I'll give the others as presents.

Yes - I went through the store clutching it. And I'd pre-ordered a copy from Amazon, so I think I'll give a copy to my favorite enabler, who's not on the board, but thinks you've been good for me.

I'll think I'll buy a copy for my friend Tami, who dropped by the first F2F in Chicago and met some of y'all.

I'm planning on giving it to a couple of close friends whose lips *still* lift when I mention my online friends. I've not been able to get them to understand internet connections--maybe the book will do that.
