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 got Nilly a Moomin when she visited San Francisco. She grew up with them.

There was also Tennis Shoes. I remember really liking that one.

I remember Theatre Shoes and Ballet Shoes, and I know I read a third one but I can't remember what it was. Looking it up on Amazon, I found a whole slew of "Shoes" books I'd never heard of!

Is this the same book that Emma Watson is starring in a new BBC adaption?

Somewhat random question, but what's the word for a book within a book? Like, when there's a book that a character is reading, but that book only exists within the character's world, it's not a real book? I swear I know a word for this, but I can't remember it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Since it made me do a COMM: Johanna Linsay cover makeovers, from Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books.

I think the pink horsy one is my favourite.

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

Vonnie, I did enjoy this, for the record.

I made a post about His Dark Materials, if anyone's interested. The first section is not spoilery, and you can avoid the spoilery part.
