I have so much book loot!

First, rachelmanija is here and brought along quite a few gifts/exchanges:

- Georgette Heyer, The Foundling (this will make it the fourth Heyer to sit unread on my shelf. I swear, I will get to them someday)
- Diana Wynne Jones, Dogsbody (read before, but like it. Also, cannot pass up a free book)
- Laura Kinsale, My Sweet Folly ( ( Read more... )

I swear, I was good for the past few months, but I went into B&N today and left with three more books, once again proving that my natural state of being is that of never being able to turn down a book. In my defense, I found two of them in the bargain bins for $4 each.

Loot includes Isabel Glass' Daughter of Exile, which also proves that I ( Read more... )

The weekend report:

I had a birthday! It was of the good ^_^.

1. I got much loot for myself! Joy! And I only overspent on my budget by a wee bit, so good job, me. I was feeling a bit guilty over the shopping spree, though. Oh well. I figure I got a mini cash award thing at work a while back and have been saving for two months, so it's not like it ( Read more... )

Yay! I have a copy of Patricia McKillip's Od Magic waiting for me at home! Joy joy joy! Now I am trying to decide if I should read it immediately, or if I should wait until I finish the Steerswoman books before going in. Or if I should just let it sit on my shelf for a while until the day comes when I need to treat myself to something magical ( Read more... )

Hello from Cornell! It's currently pouring! It's probably revenge on me, as my poor sister and mom were corralled into helping me move out during pouring rain during my graduation. It had rained three straight months or so on the east coast back then, then I got sick, it poured, and we had to move out in mud several inches deep. Really gross ( Read more... )

In which I spend too much money at the used bookstore...Went by the used bookstore yesterday, and was rather sad and amazed that I have managed to not go there for a good month, at the very least. Mostly it's been Borders trips these days. I suspect a large part of that is the desire to stand there and read manga, since the used bookstore doesn't ( Read more... )

As mentioned previously, went to Borders yesterday and ogled at their extensive manga section. Not only that, but the one in Sunnyvale has a shelf of untranslated manga! For a very expensive price about twice as much as Kinokuniya, but still! Just the fact that they have them there makes me really happy. Also, browsing that, I discovered that ( Read more... )

Sunday was the library paperback sale ( Read more... )

Yup, it's me. It's been quite a while (read: ten days, which is forever in online time). Life has mostly been downhill. Unlike most people, LJ seems to be good for my mental health, or posting a great deal in LJ seems to indicate that my brain is still up and running. Unfortunately, my brain mostly hasn't been this past week or so. I've started ( Read more... )

And now, a post that will be happy. Or if not happy, at least completely normal, because my life has felt like some sort of Lifetime drama this week. I don't want my life to be a drama. If my life had to be some sort of genre category, I'd want it to be a romantic comedy, or a sitcom. Or maybe a musical, and everyone would dance around, and laugh, ( Read more... )
