Weekend Update

[nolly]

Friday after work, I went over to meowse's for hiking and food and talking and such. Twas good.

Saturday, I was pleasantly surpised to not be sore from the hike. Went to my usual yoga class, then had my usual scone and coffee, and visited my usual used bookstore. I had $11.90 in my pocket; the bookstore is my last stop before I get my "allowance" for the next week. Some weeks, I don't find anything I want that's within my remaining budget. This week, I scored.


From the $0.50 or 5/$2 cart:
Conadian program, to go to the Darkstar library
Coming of Age in Mississippi, Anne Moody
Growing Up Weightless, John M. Ford -- I've already got a copy, but I've got a new home in mind for this one. (Oh, look -- it's signed, for Ray. I wonder who Ray is.)
The Newgate Calendar, ed. Edwin Valentine Mitchell, copyright 1926. As the title page says: Comprising Interesting Memoirs of the Most Notorious Characters who have been convicted of Outrages on the Laws of England. With Speeches, Confessions, and Last Exclamations of Sufferers.
(only the bold bits are small cap, not bold, as they are in these things)
C.S. Lewis Had a Wife / Catherine Marshall Had a Husband, William J. Petersen.

From the bargain corner inside: $1-$3, generally; I think these were $1 and $2)
1985, Anthony Burgess
Science Fiction: the Future, ed Dick Allen
Bastard Out of Carolina, Dorothy Allison
Mama Makes Up Her Mind, Bailey Allison
A Beautiful Mind Sylvia Nassar
The Road to Science Fiction, vol. 3: From Heinlein to Here, ed. James Gunn
Year's Best Fantasy and Horror #7, ed. Datlow/Windling
100 Hilarious Little Howlers, ed. Greenberg et al., which I initially left off, as I left it in the car for interstitial reading

Total: $11.83

Then I went home, changed, met samuraimeg, went shopping, got piratey clothes at Ross, went to the mall, and then I went to my Buffy game. Much fun, and now I'm off to church.

Re: I absolutely LOVE your book list!

Thank you :) You can definitely tell a lot about a person from their bookshelves, in my experience. Both from what's on them and from how many there are and where they're kept. (I realized on the way to church that I'd left one off the list: an anthology of short humourous fiction which I'd left in the car for interstitial reading.)

As one of my t-shirts says: So many books, so little time.
