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."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Curse y'all for introducing me to Library Thing. I was only able to get one of my bookshelves in before I used up all the space on the free account.

that site is eeeeevillll!

I'm being very picky so far with LibraryThing. buffista authors, heyer, deLint and cookbooks.

Bibliophil.org is pretty similar to Librarything, except it's free (though he certainly welcomes donations). [link]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

deLint

Oh I completely forgot about him! I scarfed down three of his books and then he totally slipped my mind. Ooh I can't wait 'til I find my next book.

Because books.

From the Bibliophil site, which has a list of the 100 Most Challenged Books of 1999-2000 -- how on earth is Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen objectionable?

Reading a new YA novel by a new author -- Betwixt by Tara Bray Smith. I'm loving it so far.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You mean other than the full frontal nudity?

Oh.

See, when it's drawings of CHILDREN I just don't go there.

People are ... horrible.
