Today, the UBS and Waldenbooks were my friends.
Books:
Marjorie M. Liu: Eye of Heaven
Fuyumi Ono: The Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of Shadows
S.M. Peters: Whitechapel Gods
Dorothy L. Sayers: Clouds of Witness, Strong Poison, The Unpleasantness at the Belladonna Club, The Five Red Herring, Lord Peter(anthology) and Busman's Honeymoon(anthology)
Rob Thurman: Madhouse
Manga:
Land of Silver Rain Vol 6-7
Pumpkin Scissors Vol 2
Togari Vol 5
xXxHolic Vol 11
Ordered from Amazon because no one local had a better price:
Stargate: Ark of Truth
Tin Man
BTW, Stargate fans, will I spoil myself for SGA if I just put it off until I've finished watching all of SG1 and AoT?
Meanwhile, I've started reading Robin McKinley's Spindle's End. It's been a long time, but I remember loving the McKinley books I read in the past, but 30 pages in, it seems to be trying so very, very hard to be clever that the effect is almost too twee to swallow. Does it get better/is it worth sticking with, or am I better off either dropping it or setting it aside for later, and moving on to something else(like 12K or Madhouse)?
Meanwhile, I seem to have "accidentally" acquired Milano cookies and asiago cheese bread. The cookies I know what to do with, but I have nothing to have with that bread...
ETA: Also, people owe me over $100 in ebay payments. Do they not realize I have plans for that money? Do they not realize that money will provide me with(primarily) hours of pretty korean people angsting prettily with swords and guns and other assorted weapons in period costumes, and pretty japanese people doing amazingly cracky things? GIMME MONEY!
