OM NOM NOM
I need to stop obtaining books. I think I need to impose a "no buying books" rule on myself. It's getting....disgusting. I've realized that I won't be able to clean up entirely for the book club I'm hosting Sunday because there is literally nowhere to put some of the stacks of books!
Anyway, today's haul from a library sale:
When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka
The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling [from 2000, I think]
British Landscape Watercolours 1600-1860, lol
Kristin Lavrandsatter by Sigrid Undset (LOL remember that one time when I took a semester of 19th Century Scandinavian literature?? This looks heinous.) Bonus points because it's about a Catholic woman! I think it's a heinous Victorian-esque novel about the Middle Ages written in the 1920s. [PWNTASTIC CHARACTER RELATIONSHIP CHART ON WIKIPEDIA....that immediately makes this book a triple-pwn.
Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand by Samuel R. Delany
Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany
Vol. 1 of....a manga in Japanese! It's by Mitsuki Kaco and published by Betsucomi, and....I've got nothing.
Vol. 1 of "Kiseki no Kakara" by Shouko Akira in Japanese
Once I've tidied up around the apartment, my next goal is to type up a backlog of all my unread books that will be used to SHAME MYSELF into not buying books for at least a year! (LOL IT WILL FAIL)
