meganbmoore reviews Cindy Pon's Silver Phoenix.

Also spent the afternoon going through book boxes in the garage and sorted out EIGHT boxes of books to sell to Half-Price. They gave me $168 for them and said "You have some really good things here! How can you bear to let them go?!" To which I replied that I have much better things left over. :D Plus, my criteria for this cull was (a) even if it was good, if I was never going to read it again, it went, and (b) did I want it bad enough to move it.

The cash makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER about dropping $75 this morning on an order of nice fine-art quality paper for art show prints. (It wasn't the REALLY NICE stuff I covet, which is $5/sheet, but the A-Kon art show isn't worth $5/sheet. The AnimeFest art show *is*, however, so I may be buying some of that come August. :D)

And I found something I totally forgot I had: the chapter book adaptation of the Sabretooth: Death Hunt comics. Which is totally trippy to me as I see those particular books as OMG NOT FOR KIDS.

Haul from the farmer's market this morning: asparagus, tomatoes, sweet onions, small cucumbers (not pickling ones), and two jars of jam (grape and apricot). No clue what I'm going to make with them.

Are you moving? Did I miss something somewhere? I thought you just moved into your new place...

I moved into the new place a year ago. I am, however, taking on a short lease so that the end of my lease matches with the end of

myrialux's lease, so we have More Options. :D

V. sensible. I think you should review the chapter book for us.

Unrelated to the post itself, by I saw this at hasting's today after lunch, and thought of you: http://www.amazon.com/Crown-Pearls-Deborah-Chester/dp/044101657X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241936001&sr=8-1

Gosh yes. XD I'm still only partway through the first, because it was such a small book, yet pulled in a THIRD viewpoint character, which just felt ridiculous to me.
