Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

If I only had a brain...

I love Crazy For You because the up-against-the-wall sex is so hot.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

the up-against-the-wall sex

Oh yeah.

I almost forgot.

t runs to bunk

But I find her sex scenes just hot in general. In most romance novels, I skip over the sex scenes. They're so blah. JC's I read, and reread and reread and jump my hubby and then read again.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think it's cool she took the chance, though. And yeah, I liked that part.

I read, and reread and reread and jump my hubby and then read again

Anyone else have the Madonna song, Crazy for you, stuck in their head? Just me eh?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Anyone else have the Madonna song, Crazy for you, stuck in their head?

Well, I didn't.

Eh, it beats the Little Pink and Purple Pills remix I had going.

I'm on the library waiting list for Bet Me. And it's a loooong list.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

I was thinking more Crazy for You from Gershwin, myself.

Aaaa! Earwormed by Madonna! The power of suggestion rules around here.

I think I've got a Patsy Cline one going. Is it Patsy Cline? Music not my thing.

There's tied-to-the-couch hot sex in Bet Me.

Here is a nice little reading list.

I don't think I've ever seen the term "novelette" before. Novella, yeah. The list has novella, novelette, and short story. What's the difference?

And this is why I end up getting hooked on reading threads. I read the new stuff, then forget why I came here.

Deb! When's your thing at Book Passage? Is it this weekend? I couldn't find it in Press or Beep Me. It's coming up, right? I'm planning to go and will recruit people to go with me. I think - it depends on when it is.

I'm turning over a new leaf at work, I swear, so I'm signing out and will be back much, much later.
