Ooooh, that's a good one, too.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

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."

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Oooh, oooh, oooh... I'm such a doofus-- one of my favorite books EVER (I'm on about my fifth copy and I reread it at least twice a year), The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare.
Loved this one.
"Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William Mckinley and Me, Elizabeth"
This was also a particular favorite, along with The Mixed-up Files... There's also Harriet the Spy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
That's a shame about Spidey. I've only read the first trade of USM
Ultimate Spider-Man is pretty good, though it wibble-wobbles with canon a little.
I'm glad to get the Skulduggery Pleasant rec again because I've been meaning to read that myself.
They KICK ALL ASS.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
around the same time I gobbled up Half Magic I also read and loved The Saturdays.
Ooh and A String in the Harp.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web. And I also loved the Eagar books.

Oh, "The Saturdays", about the Melendy kids?? There were a few others in that series, I think...I liked those.
Bunnicula and The Celery Stalks at midnight
SO perfect for her, no? Vampire BUNNY!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Elizabeth Enright. The Saturdays, The Four-Story Mistake, Then There Were Five, A Spiderweb for Two
I just checked and they're finally back in print as of this year. Oh frabjous day. I can now buy them for children everywhere.
I usually end up rereading them every year. I think I'm closer to the Melendys than my own family.
Also, there are her other wonderful books, Gone Away Lake and Return to Gone Away Lake
I usually end up rereading them every year.

Art Crawl!!!
Would Joan Aiken's Alternative England books be too advanced?
I loved those, the Prydain Cycle, Caddie Woodlanw, The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
What about A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver ?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
What about Pippi Longstocking? It's so long since I read them that I can't at all remember what age they're pitched at, but I'd think Kara would approve of Pippi's lifestyle choices.
