I just finished Jilli's book and have pimped it, verily.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

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."

P-C, do me one favor; remove my LJ link from after my name. I've never made it a widely known fact publicly that I have an LJ.
Thanks.
What a dicksmack.
Ah, Teppy, you wordsmith. May I also suggest one of my new favorites; Bitchwaffle.

An art which you seem to have mastered.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I can't remember the names of any of my school librarians, but I loved them all and (I think) they loved me, just because I was such a regular patron. My junior high librarian had a "Frodo Lives" plaque over her desk, and I remember asking her what that meant.
I read all of Marguerite Henry's books that we had in the library by the end of sixth grade, and made my way through Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes by the end of eighth grade, as well as so many other writers.
My 3-5 grade school's library had a great set of bios of famous children, most of which were mythologized/created out of thin air (Virginia Dare and others whom had nothing factual about their childhood, as well as Ben Franklin, Lincoln, and Washington, which embraced the myths developed later). Sure, they were mostly fiction, but they were well-written and made me want to read more about them when I got older.

“Not dead yet!”
I read it, beth. It was pretty good, but it bugged me that it seemed as if they got their swipes in, with the snarky clichés in the first half of the article before they could actually settle down and get to the heart of the discussion.
