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."

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

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.

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

It makes me terribly curious to see what's *wrong* with Halloween ABC, although it's probably just the normal witches! and vampires! and ghosts! oh my!
