Xander ,'Get It Done'
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."
Now *this* is my kind of review. [link]
There’s a suspense side-plot of sorts involving Richard Runyon, James’s cousin and next in line to inherit the title. Richard wants to be the duke, and he’ll stoop at nothing to get it. And make no mistake, he could not be more villainous short of planting a giant red neon sign on his head that says “PSYCHOTIC VILLAIN HERE” with a blinky arrow that points down, and maybe cueing Darth Vader’s theme every time he walks onto a scene.
set in the NY Wiccan/Pagan/Magick scene
Oh, I may just have to read that.
So I read Mary Doria Russell's A Thread of Grace this week. Verdict: brilliantly written, amazingly researched, heart-breaking. If you don't go in looking for the happy, you'll probably be okay.

In the annals of confusingly funny typoes, this goes right next to the Associated Press's use of "seldomly."

Which is pretty much true of all of her books.
Anybody remember a YA paperback called Victoria (I believe), circa 1970s, about a girls' boarding school? The protagonist was named Dilys, which baffled me as a kid because I could never figure out how to pronounce it, and Victoria was the broody, mysterious ringleader of a clique, and turned out to have a Deep Dark Secret (not that I can remember what it was).
Author's name is what I'm looking for, because when I search under title anywhere, I get bazillions of books about the queen instead.
AmyLiz, is this what you're looking for? Victoria is #11 on the list.
It is! Bless you! God, that was driving me crazy. And now I can buy it! Thanks, Kate!
In a non-fiction book intended for a popular audience, is it OK to have an appendix to an appendix? One particular paragraph in the main section will needs a couple of thousand words to prove ; so I put it in an appendix. But then one paragraph in that appendix needs a couple of tables and some calculations to prove. I don't want to interrupt the flow by putting it in the first appendix; but the tables and explanation are too big to reasonably fit in a footnote. And the tables need sourcing, which sort of makes putting them in an endnote problematic. So the appendix to an appendix seems like the best solution, but..
Maybe call it a Diagram? Exhibit? Attachment? Annex?
