This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Buffy ,'Potential'


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."

I also found Bellairs' The House with a Clock in its Walls on the non-fiction shelf

I just got shivers. That is one of the spookiest YA books I've ever read and thinking that it might be non-fiction gives me the wiggins.

(I know it's not but it's still a scary thought.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oooooh. The Face in the Frost is one of my all-time favorite novels. I'm going to have to start looking for this one.

House made of books

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Too cool!

Except, I could never live there. I'd be constantly poking holes in the walls to read things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They're not actually books.

They're not actually books.

Which I was relieved to see, as I was starting to get very irate at the size of some of the "books" being incorporated into furniture. "A book that size has to be very, very old, and you're using it for furniture!?!?"

Because books.

The chairs at the dining table were gorgeous. I liked the bed, too.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Loved the bed, but I love the design of that "screen" even more--what a brilliant idea, to have bookshelves on wheels with the ability to fold up! That would save me tons of room in my apartment.

It cracks me up that there are so few actual books shown.

Herding cats for fun

One of the most awful stories I ever heard was about the wealthy woman who went to an antiquarian bookstore and purchased leatherbound books by the linear foot as a decorative device. Then she asked if the bookstore would cut them in half, because the shelves she had were too shallow. Good thing this House of Books link is cool with the faux.
