Doyle ,'Life of the Party'
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 read everything from picture books to adult
I remember YA from the time when I was a YA. There was very little -- and much of it was simple and had a moral lesson. It is way more varied now.
I am a librarian . I like to categorize books. But it is only fun because it is complex, not easy, to put a label on a book. Oddly, most books have multiple labels.
I just finished reading Molly Gloss's The Hearts of Horses and I LOVED it. So beautifully written, so moving, such insight into peoples' lives in the West in the early years of the 20th century. Golly, that was fabulous; I wanted it not to end.
Highly recommended if you like horses, or the West (it's set in eastern Oregon), or like books where women do things and nobody makes a fuss about it.
Wow, that was great.
I will make sure to buy Jackson Pearce's novel next year. That video rocked.

We've got this featured on our main aisle (it's in its own display). I was thinking about picking it up; now I know I will next time I go into work!

I was thinking much the same thing

So I was in a bookshop yesterday here in the UK, perusing biographies in search of something presentish for my dad, and I discovered that there is now a whole SECTION devoted to voyeuristic true life emoporn ( A Boy Called It, A Man Called Dave, Ma, He Sold Me For a Few Cigarettes etc etc) entitled 'Tragic Lives'.
A whole section with its own title.
I'm still gobsmacked.
One of the benefits of reconnecting with my blood sisters is unexpected Christmas presents. My oldest sister sent me this book: [link]
which pretty much tags many of my historical interests. I'm out of practice at this family thing. I keep waffling between "People who like me who send me things!" and "People who like me who I have to remember to do nice things for!"
But, really, don't we all? I mean, unless you take it down to the next level and hit the Likely Suspects list. Not that I know anything about that, but my friend does.
Coffee: Oh dear lord, Fay, that video is awesome.
I want to start randomly saying, "Where the hell is my crumpet?" It should be the new shorthand for "Shut up, you pretentious literary ass," seriously.
