Reading something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue
I’m home after the last day of the MIBF, and I think I carted out the biggest haul I’ve had in years. I thought last year’s loot was quite a haul, but it pales in comparison to this year’s three-post-running loot, and I’m glad my mom is out of town, or else I’d have to smuggle my purchases inside the house!
Now I need to shelve these (stuff them in with the old so they don’t look newly-acquired, hehehe) before mom gets back in town!

Aieee!!! I thought the past couple of days were already a rampage, but I came home with a huge haul today; bought more books than I could carry!

Of course, every year is somewhat of a fail, but I don’t think it’s ever been as epic a fail as this year!

So I might as well show you what I got (quick, before the guests I am waiting for get here!)
