LOVE Ballet Shoes!!
Is this the same book that Emma Watson is starring in a new BBC adaption?
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Steph, I want to thank you for pimping Kiki Strike. I picked it up on Tuesday (while buying the newest Stephenie Meyer book for the kid) and I'm loving it! So fun!
Okay, it only took me 2 weeks to reply to this, but -- you're welcome! Isn't it fun? I'm hoping there will be more.
ION, I'm reading Sarah Monette's newest book, The Mirador, and I'm finding that I can't remember very much of what happened in Melusine and The Virtu, and I don't really want to re-read them. Which is making The Mirador a little confusing.

I'm hoping there will be more.
There will be! I saw on Amazon that there is a new one coming out on Oct 2nd Yayay! Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb. I was tempted to preorder it but I have shipping anexiety (ironic since I work for a multi-national shipping company)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
YALSA also puts out lists of popular YA books for a variety of different POV (reluctant readers, genres, etc). I use it quite a bit to order books for my classroom library.
Which, for those many wonderful people who donated, is going FABULOUS. I have to get pix up, and let me tell you, I am proud. Almost every day this year, I have at least one student who asks "Can I read this?"
Speaking of YA, anyone read Stefanie Meyers "Twlight" series? I git the newest one yesterday and read it....

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just finished reading evil genius by catherine Jinks. Really good, fun, if a bit unevenly paced. some compared it to Harry Potter, other( more correctly ) to Artemis Fowl. Darker than both. Oddly , though the stories were not similar it reminded me more of Soon I will be invincible.
I know both books have just come out, but it is still odd that I have just read two books about th everyday lives of superheros/supervillians.
