We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

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."

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice...

I enjoyed them Aimee. Have you read Ties the Knot?

Personally I relate to the character in her overspending ways (though I'm not nearly as bad)...

Are they fluff? Absolutely.

But sometimes that's nice...

plus I like the ways that Becky gets out of her scrapes.

She's like Bridget Jones, except obsessed with money instead of weight...

What about you?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Have you read Ties the Knot?

I've "knot" yet.

I loved the first one but Manhattan irritated me until she finally got a clue. I overspend as well. I am lucky in that I only have one $400 credit card. I have been finding that I am enjoying British novels more and more than their American counterparts. Jane Green is a new favorite.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I enjoyed the Shopaholic books despite the fact that I almost always wanted to slap Becky. Hard.

I did, however, enjoy Kinsella's Can You Keep a Secret, without the urge for slapping.

Up with the sun

I'm with Alicia on the shopaholic books, though I couldn't read Ties the Knot because the plot description on the back sounded entirely too painful to read. Can you Keep a Secret is still quite fluffy, but all-around better.

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice...

Yeah... I get the urge to slap her too... that's the only part of the books that I'm not that keen on... BTW I finished & Sister today... it was cute, as expected

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Bwah! Connie, I was just about to post that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Big surprise. Someone's died in the last two. It's a thing.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

According to radio news, J.K. Rowling says someone's gonna die in the new book.

Let the Ron and Hagrid rumors begin!

Err. Not like that.
