Heck, any of those will do, and if they could be delivered with a well-written vampire novel I haven't read yet, I would bounce up and down with joy.
Hopefully I can accoommodate you, madam, but not today. Back to editing....
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I liked sunshine. I did not payattention to the details of the bakeing - so I missed them.
Stephanie Laurens I read one book by her- it was incoherent. A friend of mine read it and came to the same conclusion. so I have been afraid to read anything else by

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice...
Regarding library fees, it's twelve bucks CDN, not US. It has gone up in the past few years, plus now that our dollar's doing better, it's not as good of a deal... I guess. I really don't mind paying though, and the late fees are not that bad. Plus you can take out as many as you want. I feel sorry for those ppl who live outside of town- their yearly fee is something like a hundred bucks. Although I did see one guy who lives outside of town with two duffel bags full of books. I guess he only comes in every three weeks or so. (He had some for his kids too.)

Robin, if I look in the yellow pages for "Reston's Used Bookstore", will I find it? I'll totally take a trip if it's open on Sunday...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is pathetic, because it's been years, but I'm still kind of traumatised by my one trip into a used book store in DC (on R, maybe? Upstairs) that was a lovely looking place, but then I realized that anything I would be even vaguely interested in reading was all in one crappy bookshelf labeled "MASS MARKET." I'm way too mass market for that place.

Oh, I've been there, Robin! I went with a friend of mine who works out near there--I took her to mine (which is the Book Alcove, someone else mentioned it) and she took me to hers, and then we went for bubble tea. It was an awesome day.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
We neither buy nor trade textbooks, encyclopedias, Harlequin Romances, very specialized books, computer books, books in poor condition, and most book club novels
Robin, Just out of curiosity, what does the store have against Harlequin romance? Dreck, surely, but who are we to judge? :)
