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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

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

Mo Willems

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.

The status is NOT quo.

Knuffle Bunny
I 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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Knuffle Bunny

I just read this as "Kerfuffle Bunny" and had all kinds of amusing mental images.

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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?)

The Pigeon Wants a Puppy is his newest and it is LOVE.

I'll have to get it soon. Especially because I think The Annabel wants a puppy. We regularly drive by a cat adoption center and often admire the kitties while waiting at the red light, but AB knows her daddy is severely allergic and therefore we're not getting a cat.

Saturday they had a poster on their door with a picture of a dog and a cat. AB noted it and said, "DOGGIES don't make Daddy sneeze." And she was all for getting him a puppy for Father's Day.
