aurelia, the 16-year-old is probably ready for some Stephen King, too, if he hasn't tried it already.
Ooh, good call. I might try World War Z, too.
I'm googling all the other suggestions. FYI, when googling Storm Front, include the author name.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Thanks all. I just want this over. We had waited for the school to do their part and it didn't resolve anything between the boys.
Stabbings, rarely trivial. Even if not serious.
In talking with our Sensei this evening, she pointed out that in 4 years, the stakes are much higher than anything going on for the 14 year olds now.

I always heard it "the proof is in the pudding."

It's pretty likely that I'm not hearing what people are actually saying.
