Loot!

[oyceter]

BWAHAHAHA! I got a ton of loot at the Strand today (and at the Strand Annex over the weekend) and I am going to rub it in everyone's faces and brag because I never manage to find manga on sale in California.

Loot ($2 for everything save the manhwa, which was $2.50):

• Mixed Vegetables, which I have never heard of but stars a daughter of a pastry

OMG does Strand have an online store?! I am so envious of your loot! Mixed Vegetables sounds amazing!

[oyceter]

It does! Although I have no idea how the stock there relates to the stock in the store, and I was probably wishful-thinking when it came to ARCs.

I STILL HATE YOU, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! NANA 12! VAMPIRE KNIGHT 5! HIGH SCHOOL DEBUT 5! Still on pre-order at Amazon! For two dollars!

When I went back, my sister just looked at my bag and glared at me.

SISTER: You bought even more books?
ME: Two dollars! Not available! Nana! Vampire Knight! Two dollars!
SISTER: You make no sense in your flailing!
ME: You can read them too.
SISTER: Oooooo, okay.

Mixed Vegetables

I'm curious to see what you think of Mixed Vegetables, that was a title I was considering getting.

I will definitely report once I read it!

... er, eventually. As I seem to have a bit of a backlog running =(.

Flower of Life!! I love that and just recently read vol. 3, which I loved.

[oyceter]

Eeee! Yes! Ok, there is one plot element in it that seriously bugs me, but otherwise, I love it so much!

...now I just need to get vols. 1 and 2. Oh DMP, why is your manga so expensive?

[daegaer]

If it's the thing the finishes off the end of the volume, it squicks me (though I take heart in the fact that vol 4 will hopefully make it go away quickly!)

Books - they taunt us with their shiny cost.

[rachelmanija]

Oh, you haven't read 1 and 2 yet? Remind me and I'll bring them!

I hate that thing too, but I love every single other element in the series.

Mixed Vegetables looked really cute. Yes, obviously, the solution to your problems is to MARRY SOMEONE!

[oyceter]

I know! I laughed and rolled my eyes at the shoujo-ness of it all.

My sister just started reading it and is apparently very impressed by how fast one of them can slice cucumbers.
