Loot!

[oyceter]

I have so much book loot!

First, rachelmanija is here and brought along quite a few gifts/exchanges:

- Georgette Heyer, The Foundling (this will make it the fourth Heyer to sit unread on my shelf. I swear, I will get to them someday)
- Diana Wynne Jones, Dogsbody (read before, but like it. Also, cannot pass up a free book)
- Laura Kinsale, My Sweet Folly (one of the four (?) Kinsales I haven't read. I know it's supposed to be very flawed, but I am a sucker for the epistolary novel. Even partially)
- Victoria Abbott Riccardi, Untangling My Chopsticks: A Culinary Sojourn in Kyoto (the gift. And a culinary Asian memoir! Whoo!)

Then we headed over to the used bookstore, in which I found a few things and Rachel found more, and I got a ton of recs. I feel rather bad because I felt like digging out a notebook and writing everything down so that I would remember!

- Barbara Michaels, Into the Darkness (because I haven't read a Gothic before)
- Teresa Edgerton, Goblin Moon and The Gnome's Engine (never even heard of them before, except possibly in passing, but highly recced)
- Mary Stolz, Cat in the Mirror (another recced book I've never heard of)
- John Marsden, Tomorrow, When the War Began (I've heard of it, and Rachel told me to get it. Sense a theme?)
- Tamora Pierce, Circle of Magic #3, Circle of Magic #4, The Circle Opens #1 (Rachel didn't overtly tell me to get them, but since her rec started me reading them in the first place, I shall blame her anyhow)
- Marya Hornbacher, Wasted (I've heard good things from... guess who? Yes, Rachel ;). Along with many other people)
- Joan Jacobs Brumberg, The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls (because I really liked her Fasting Girls)

And then! Rachel gave me Barbara Michaels' Black Rainbow.

Then after sending Rachel off to Bart, I came home to my Amazon package! So I finally have my own copy of All the Fishes Come Home to Roost! And I finally have Monica Furlong's Colman!

I'm just going to sit back now and pat all my books.
