Premise denial? Is genius.

In reply to softdrink. Aw, poor Rainbow Rowell! She can have whatever name she wants! But I agree with you about the "OMG NO" thing, which happens to me frequently. I ordinarily am not great at making up names of things, which is why I'm pretty excited about this premise denial business.

But Rainbow is such a pretty name! I also think more people should be named Moonbeam. It’s probably best I don’t have a kid.

I think the ones at the Harry Potter exhibition were $50-60. The one I saw at B&N was a plastic thingy with a light-up tip and no special collector’s box to its name.

Ew, that sounds like an awful premise, especially if the book is anything but a thriller/horror/crime type book. Premise denial–consider it adopted into my lexicon!

Um, yeah, that’s pretty creepy. And I love the term “premise denial.”

I think you need to expand on this premise denial bizness. Because there are also those small moments in books where you go (okay, I go), “OMG, no, that cannot happen, real people just do not do that” and those moments when you realize that the author’s name is something like, ohhh, let’s say Rainbow and you go “Seriously??” And then there’s the whole ending denial thing.

So yes. Brilliant term…you should keep going with them.

In reply to Jenny.

It was from Walker, and when I wave it, there’s a white light until I wave it again. (Sometimes I say “lumos” but that’s not really necessary.) You know, my two asked for wands the Christmas before last–Eleanor asked for the Elder wand and Walker (naturally) Malfoy’s wand. But since Santa brought them, they decided that Santa is the true master of the Elder wand.

In reply to Care. Well, hey, that's going to happen sometime. There are lots of books in the world, and when one of them happens to you, you'll be READY.
