Buffistas

Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It turned out I had ordered a hardback, which I hadn't planned on doing, and when I changed it to paperback I was much further from the super saver than I thought. But I'll want these suggestions for Christmas, I'm sure.

Xanth seems older to me. I read A Spell for Chameleon in high school, though that was probably when it came out, but it still seems like that age to me.

Art Crawl!!!

Hmmm, from Wizard News:

15 copies of Half-Blood Prince sold prematurely in Canada

Raincoast Books is in full damage-control mode after a British Columbia store prematurely sold up to 15 copies of the latest book last week. Raincoast heard about the gaffe on Friday, the day after the books were sold at the Great Canadian Superstore in Coquitlam – more than a week before the official release.

Oops, not so interesting that I needed to say it twice.

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

Funny -- I was just about to link to this:

The Canadian distributors of the new Harry Potter book secured a gag order preventing plot leaks after a "small number" of copies were mistakenly sold.

Raincoast Books were granted the injunction after a store near Vancouver put the book on sale early.

The order prevents anyone disclosing all or part of the plot to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ahead of its release on 16 July.

Those returning the book will be rewarded with a JK Rowling autograph.

The company, which distributes the books on behalf of Bloomsbury, sought the injunction in the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

"Raincoast and Bloomsbury have promised fans of Harry Potter that we would do our best to ensure that they would be the first to discover the secrets contained within Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," said Jamie Broadhurst, marketing director at Raincoast Books.

"We felt that we had to take all necessary legal action to keep our promise to Canadian fans."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Did we decide how long to whitefont discussion of the new Harry Potter?

I feel like we're still whitefonting for OotP, so...forever? More or less?

If I only had a brain...

I say at least until after the paperback comes out. Not all of us can afford hardback prices.
