Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

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."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh. That looks intriguing.

Thomas Canty has donated a drawing he did for the illustrated special edition of A Feast for Crows to the Terri Windling fundraiser. (Not surprising - I believe he did the covers for the Fairy Tale series and for various anthologies that Terri Windling edited.

Do you know somebody who needs a Margaret Atwood doll?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Do you know somebody who needs a Margaret Atwood doll?

Me!

Jilli, have you seen this altered book purse?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I don't need Margaret Atwood, but I definitely need Frances Hodgson Burnett, GK Chesterton and Carson McCullers, and I wouldn't say no to Charlotte Bronte or Edith Wharton either.

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

I think you just created your fantasy dinner party.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Chesterton for sure, and possibly McCullers, but I'd want to add in Flannery O'Connor and swap out Burnett for E. Nesbit. A dinner party guest list is a delicate thing.

And if the etsy seller wanted to take a cue from my dinner party and start making O'Connor and Nesbit dolls, I would be ALL in favor of it.
