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.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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."

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
You know, it occurred to me - with all the joking about having someone you've never met come to visit, or going to stay with someone you've never met, wouldn't it be ... um, amusing ... for such a situation to turn up on someone's doorstep wearing a bloody apron and carrying a plastic axe?
OK ... I'll shut up now.

My mom's all "Oh, I saw ita's name..." We need to go back to L.A. so she can meet her. My mom is, like, an ita fan. Any time she watches a woman kick somebody's ass, she's like "Could ita do that?" And I have to say 'maybe" because I can't tell martial arts apart.

erika, I think to be on the safe side, you should just say, "...with her pinky."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Last night my mother asked me if I'd heard of a book with a funny title about Buffy fans, and I got all ridiculously excited and proud to tell her that the author is, in fact, a Buffista. Yay!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Silly (or maybe not so silly) question. With HP7 due out next weekend and with people a) reading at various rates and b) getting their mitts on the book at differing times, what are the whitefont guidelines? One week after publication? Two? Enter at your own risk?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
My suggestion would be one week, but I could go for longer (or shorter) than that. I don't really mind white font, so if people want it for a longer period of time, I can go with that.
I'm hoping to finish by Monday morning.
