That's a pathetic attempt to get people to buy a book "Read it and find the plagiarism!"It's pretty clear that Meyer did NO reading about vampires before writing about them. At all.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Meyers sued for plagiarism
You mean there's someone else who is willing to take credit for that crap?
ION, there's a long article about Laura and Rose Wilder in this week's New Yorker: [link]

Sadly, that was my first thought as well.

Et tu, Nordstrom? [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Doesn't it sound like Nordstrom is trying to talk themselves into it?
We all are crazy about The Twilight Saga movie.
It’s so romantic, casts hot actors and now we can buy not only make up tips but the Twilight Line!
It’s so great!
"It's so great!" is my new favorite advertising copy. It's up there with Kermit's "Soap: It gets you clean."

You want a Twilight make up tip? Here: If you're wearing white face makeup in a vampire movie (or anywhere, really), BLEND IT PAST YOUR JAWLINE. YOU ARE NOT A MIME. ALSO APPLY IT TO YOUR GODDAMN EARS.
(I am not commenting about Twilight-themed clothing, other than to gently snark that I see that Nordstrom now takes their fashion cues from Hot Topic. That's so ... very.)

Or dark makeup...say, if you are Adam Ant and wearing a midriff-baring top, and everyone's wondering if you are wearing a white t-shirt underneath because those abs are not even the same race as your face.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
heh ... at jury duty the other day one juror called for a panel had the last name "Ant" and I immediately thought "Adam?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just finished reading Julie and Julia. It made me want a Project. Not necessarily cooking, but some sort of Project like that.
