Can one fall in love with a pasta? I think I am in love with that pasta. Or at least a serious crush.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

Yes. Because I fell in love with that pasta. It's one of the reasons I'm hoping I can eventually eat gluten again.

Dangit, Jilli, now I have to make pasta for lunch!
(Mushrooms sauteed in butter, olive oil, garlic and Vermouth, adding and heating up a little leftover roasted chicken, tossed with rigatoni and baby spinach with hot pepper flakes. Little Parmesan.)

Whoo, I should not have typed "The Night Circus" into eBay on a whim. No way I can afford it, but a tempting, tempting auction: [link]

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Any suggestions for a 12-year-old girl who has liked The Hunger Games, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Incarceron, and Miss Peregrine's Home among others? She especially likes things with puzzles and/or math. Her parents are conservative but fairly tolerant about what she reads, but I wouldn't want to recommend anything on the sexy end of things.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Secret Series, by Pseudonymous Bosch! I heart those books so much. Lots of codes and puzzles and such.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
The Westing Game?

Huh. I didn't realize what The Westing Game was about. Now I want to read it.
The Secret Series sounds good, but maybe a bit young? (I mean, I would read it, but she may be at that age where there is a cool factor involved.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, I just put Harriet the Spy on hold at the library, and now I think I should do The Westing Game as well.
For twelve-year-olds, I always recommend Agatha Christie, especially the Tommy and Tuppence ones, because Tuppence is the BEST.
