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.

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."

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I went to school with a girl called Novelette.
I think it's the same as a novella.

If I only had a brain...
It's a matter of length. There's almost no place you can sell a novelette nowadays.
SFWA says novelette is "between 7,500 and 17,499 words", novella is " between 17,500 and 39,999 words".

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I read Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce last night, and found it to be eminently readable.
It was fun, and I liked he characterization. I'll look up more of her books.
