Bye, now. Have good sex.

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."

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.

I also loved The Borrowers books at that age.

To this day, I think of ferrets as the enemy.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

I'm with you with everything except Crazy for You, in which there was too much creepy crazy.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

"the aunt who gives books," not "the cool aunt."

I am both. And the "favorite aunt."

Of course, it helps that I am the only aunt.

In fact, my nephew left for boarding school today and I'm trying to figure out what I can send him at school to maintain my "cool aunt" status.
