Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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 know, Amych!

I went, Temeraire's got a geeky girlfriend! ::flails:: so cute!

Also, check Naomi's LJ: she's going on a book tour! She's going to two stores in the Bay Area, in fact: Borderlands and Dark Carnival, in late July.

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.

Lovey, I'd drive up there for you, but we won't be back from vacation yet.

BBC news item in which an excerpt from the Harry Potter pre-quel that was recently sold at auction is read. And in August a book is coming out that contains all the stories that were auctioned (includes stories from Neil Gaiman and Doris Lessing.)

Hmmm, did I spell Neil wrong? Does he go by "Neal"?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nope, Sumi, you got it right -- Gaiman is Neil.

It's spelled Neil. edit: x-posty

Heh, sumi, for a minute I thought you meant that Neil Gaiman and Doris Lessing had written stories in the Harry Potter universe!
