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 just finished Glasshouse by Charles Stross, and it was FANTASTIC. I've *liked* all his other stuff (enough to seek out more by him, obviously), but this is the first one I've really *loved*.
Now I'm reading Thirteen (Richard K Morgan) and am having a hard time getting into it. Judging by the blurb, I should be eating it up, but it hasn't quite gotten to the meat of the story yet.
Bujold is on the short list of people I buy in hardcover. I don't even particularly like hardcovers; I just can't wait. That being said, I think the Sharing Knife books are the weakest thing she's done in years.
Most of my book-buying budget goes either to supporting new authors I know from writers' organizations or to my research collection (AKA "myyy precioussss," and the one part of my book collection that's neatly organized, for ease of use and so I can, um, gloat over how pretty it is). Everyday reading usually comes from the library, though that may change if/when I become less broke.
Annabel is a big fan of the Don't Let the Pigeon series by whatshisname who did Knuffle Bunny, and I approve her budding literary taste.
Mo Willems. One of my favorite children's authors. He is teh awesome. Leonardo the Terrible Monster is a favorite.

He lives in my neighborhood!
I can't wait until D is old enough for Knuffle Bunny and I can take him to see where all the background pictures were taken.
Knuffle BunnyI just read this as "Kerfuffle Bunny" and had all kinds of amusing mental images. I think the KB would look like the rabbit in Holy Grail.

I'm mildly peeved at Mo's literary success because I preferred his animation work.
The Pigeon Wants a Puppy is his newest and it is LOVE.

It's like "Plot Bunny" melded with "Kerfuffle".
"Kerfuffle Bunny." For when you absolutely, positively have an inspired need to start a fight on the Internet.
I love David Wiesner. His books are all about the illustrations, and my favorite is Tuesday. (How can anyone not love frogs flying on their lilypads?)
