Most awesome buy ever today. This school came in with 22 boxes of books, and it being for a school, I sort of figured that the boxes would be a lot of old ex-library books, or very ugly donations or something, since that's what usually happens when charities or other organizations bring things in. Instead, I opened the first box to find brand new books. Absolutely beautiful, brand new, glossy kids and young adult books, most from 2004 and 2003. 22 boxes of them. And all for store credit, not even for cash! We NEVER see stuff like this! Well, we do, but very rarely, and almost never in this kind of quantity. Guh. I was barely able to keep myself from drooling over all the books or from bouncing up and down every two seconds over the sheer wonderfulness of the order. And I only put my name on two of the books, which shows immense self-restraint on my part ;). But, guh! Many Jane Yolen picture books! New young adult books! It's such a good thing that they weren't mostly fantasy books, or I would have been a complete goner.

Later on in the day came another nice order of comic books and manga... three bags full! My manga section will somehow have to accomodate all of them. I spotted Gravitation among them, but only book 7 =(. But there was books 1-5 of Banana Fish, which I will now borrow, and Y: The Last Man, which I've been meaning to read as well. The best part about shelving the manga/comics section is that I get first dibs ;).

And the boy and I have bought a Tivo. I am excited ^_^.
