Laga -- Heh, oddly enough the specific "character lost in a creepy swamp" scenario I was thinking of was in The Black Stallion's Ghost. But of course most of them weren't all spooky like that.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
man, Google is giving me no love. I thought the next Rothfuss book was due this month but I find no info on Powell's or Amazon. Does anybody know what's happened?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I first read The Mists of Avalon around that age, or a little older. I loved it then, though I don't really remember how scary it was.
I didn't read it until I was a good bit older (I was in college when it came out). Possibly a bit on the scary side, but not extremely so. Also some semi-explicit sex scenes that aren't appropriate for some 11YOs.
It's also a very long book -- 800 or 900 pages. So not for the short attention spanned.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe not, but I read 'em anyway.

“Not dead yet!”
I read WIFEY when I was twelve.
Got suspended for it, too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I, uh, actually have the release dates for upcoming books on my iCal. (I don't know who Rothfuss is, but I have other books on my calendar.) (Shut up.)

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