January, Sophia!
I loved Bet Me, but I had to slog through Faking It. I don't know why. Fast Women was great, too, though.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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."

I can't wait to start reading the Little House books aloud to Sara.
OK, it didn't hit me until now, but....hi mom? Kidding, cause we're likely close in age, but you spelled her name right! And are raising her right!

Because books.
Well, thank you!
I'd be happy to read them to you, too, if you like!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And yes, the Oz books! God, I loved the artwork. And Glinda is So Much Cooler in the books than in the movie - I hated movie!Glinda (although Wicked has redeemed her for me). Still, book!Glinda is cool and dignified and beautiful and elegant and powerful and has loads of gorgeous girly minions. She's sort of awesome.
Plus she had a sex change! So she was a transgender fairy princess.
I also loved The Borrowers books at that age.

I love Faking It. It was the first Crusie I read.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I also loved The Borrowers books at that age.
To this day, I think of ferrets as the enemy.

For good SF/fantasy romance, I'd go with Knight of a Trillion Stars by Dara Joy, Beneath a Sapphire Sea by Jessica Bryan (mermaids), or Shield's Lady by Amanda Glass (actually Jayne Ann Krentz), and then, of course, there are all the great time travel books that only skirt the SF/Fantasy arena.
