meganbmooreAs I am ALL ALONE at work again today, and thus working the closing shift, I had free time between lunch with the parents and coming to work and ended up going to Hastings, where the used books rack seduced me into buying the following:
Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear*
Ombria in Shadows by Patricia McKillip
Melusine by Sarah Monette*
Seimaden Vol 1 by Higuri You**
*I swear these have been recced to me, but I can't remember who by.
**This involves a man who became a demon to save his true love, only to have her die anyway, and has been sitting around waiting for her to be reborn ever since, and has to win her back now that she has been. Not quite my usual fare, but then, neither is Cantarella.
Meanwhile, has anyone read/does anyone read the following(all of which caught my eye while I was looking for a couple manga that weren't there):
Air Gear(it sounds fun, but A) same person as Tenjho Tenge, and just glancing through the first volume of that set off the wrong alarms, B) the rivals clubs/gangs thing has gotten rather old, to me)
GinTama (aliens invade Earth and put the samurai out of work, so they take up odd jobs? Could be amazingly awesome, or amazingly wrong...)
Kurogane(half metal samurai boy out for revenge with a talking sword. See above.)
Also, no one wants to explain Tsubasa Vol 16 to me?
Upside to being alone? Aside from the fact that I'm getting used to it, I don't have to worry about anyone looking at my Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service manga and giving me weird looks.)
