I'm reading Lois McMaster Bujold's Curse of Chalion. I think I have a new near-favorite author.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am aiming for the Distric Intern thingie in Middle School English--as a way in to eventually teaching Drama. I realized I really missed teaching and I ain't getting any younger. And, frankly, you are an inspiration to me as a teacher, as well as other Buffista teachers. I have two friends who did the intern program and really liked it and are both now teaching Drama.
This wouldn't be until next year, as the test is in January and the training is in May.

Hey. New board.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Love. Re-reading some of her stuff right now, AIFG.

I loved Bujold's Vorkosigan books, but I really, really loved Curse of Chalion, to the point where I haven't read the others in that universe. Curse just about broke me toward the end, I was so invested in the characters and their world.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Ok, YA readers, I have just finished The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. Seriously the book rocked.
Yes! I read it a few months back and loved it. I was cheering for Frankie the whole time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
