She's read the tie-in and the first Spiderwick and is well into Pippi.
Wow, she reads quick!
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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."

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I obssessed over those books for years, trying to remember the title or the author or something.
Deena, do you need the titles? If I had an extra set I'd send them to you!
So many of these books were familiar friends while I was growing up. I'm thinking I need to dig up some copies of these (as well as some of the others mentioned).

The status is NOT quo.
I need to re-read all the Shoes books. I loved them so.

I can't wait to start reading the Little House books aloud to Sara.
When my niece was born, one of the first things I thought of was, "Great, a girl! I can give her the Little House set when she gets old enough!" And when I mentioned it to my sister, she just said her usual "You're such a dork!" I gave her the set for the Christmas she was seven years old, a little later than when I got mine from my godmother (the only present I distinctly remember opening from my childhood).

There's a film version of Ballet Shoes that's going to be on Masterpiece Theatre later this year (or in the beginning of next) and is out on DVD now. It stars the girl who plays Hermione in the HP films.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I'm hoping my sister-in-law has a girl so I can spoil my niece with amazing literature. I'm also looking forward to being "cool Aunt GG".

I've resigned myself to being "the aunt who gives books," not "the cool aunt." That's my sister--she teaches the nephews how to turn straw wrappers into darts and riles them up for my brother to deal with. Now that the oldest nephew is going to college locally, I'm hoping I can bond with him some and regain some Cool Points.

Rollerskates! Who remembers that book or series?

“Not dead yet!”
I do, I do!! I LOVE Roller Skates. Oh... the puppet show and reading Shakespeare with her uncle instead of sewing with the gazelles and roasting potatoes in cans with Tony.
I wanted to be Lucinda SO bad.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
GG, yes, I do need the titles! I'd love to reread those.
