So it was boring, pointless and unoriginal.
Yep. 50 points from Slytherin.

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."

Speaking of author tours (NO, not one for me): who can I sweet-talk into going to the Pickerington OH B&N on the 28th of June? My favorite YA author, Ellen Schreiber is going to be there, and I want to get a signed book.
