'Selfless'
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 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....
::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?
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.
I HAVE ACHIEVED BOOK!
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.
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.
When my mom comes out to visit next month, I'm going to loan her my book to read while she's out here. I know she's baffled by my love of discussion boards, and I'm hoping that reading The Book will give her some vague understanding of why I like hanging out here!
