Fred ,'Smile Time'
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."
George and Martha are a great pre-reader/primer book.
I *love* George and Martha!
As well as all the Frog and Toad books, especially Frog and Toad Together (which is where I got the idea for always starting a to-do list with "Make list," so that you can immediately cross it off and feel productive).
Ooh, the Frog and Toad books are fun. Annabel got one for Christmas, and every once in awhile will go through a week or two where that's all she wants for bedtime stories, despite their being illustration-light compared to what she's used to.
And a couple books definitely NOT for kids: Choke and Sharp Objects.
Those are fun
Put reviews of Superpowers up on amazon and B&N
Hello Buffistas! Steph pointed me at the discussion over here, and it makes me happy to see y'all talking about my little book. (Extra happy that you seem to have liked it.)
I'm happy in particular for comments like these:
Because I knew (and surely this is no spoiler; we *know* the author, and he wouldn't pull such a hackneyed trick) that nothing corny like the superheroes *stopping* the terrorist attacks would happen.
P-C is right that BKV did just that and made it work, but the events were positioned very differently for Superpowers. I've seen a couple of negative mentions of my book (shakes fist at sky) which seemed to want not just the happy ending but the kitchen-sink happy ending, with everything reset back to the way it was. Have to say I don't get that. On the other hand, I think some folks may never be ready to see those events treated in a story, and it's hard to argue with that. It wasn't easy to write about them, that's for sure.
Anyway, just thought I'd pop in and say "Hi." Sorry I don't get around here much at all anymore, but I am over at LJ--some of you I have friended already, but I've missed some 'cause I'm not clear entirely on who's who over there. I'm snurri, so feel free to friend me.
Knut!
KNUT!!!
I have to buy your book soon. It is on my todo list.
Howdy!
You know, books make excellent gifts, too. (I'm sure Allyson, Hec and Hayden will back me up on this.) BUT NO PRESSURE.
Yeah, I wish there was a Buffista Book Bulk Order thang!
Signed, still has multiple copies of Swordfishtrombones that I haven't wrapped, needs to give another Vampire People book as a gift, and don't get me started on the REST of the stack.
