Loot!

BWAHAHAHA! I got a ton of loot at the Strand today (and at the Strand Annex over the weekend) and I am going to rub it in everyone's faces and brag because I never manage to find manga on sale in California.

Loot ($2 for everything save the manhwa, which was $2.50):
  • Mixed Vegetables, which I have never heard of but stars a daughter of a pastry chef who wants to be a sushi chef and the son of a sushi chef who wants to be a pastry chef.

  • Sugar Princess 1

  • Forest of Gray City 2

  • Goong 2

  • Flower of Life 3 (from Forbidden Planet)

  • High School Debut 5, which I'm not actually collecting, but hey, TWO DOLLARS!

  • Vampire Knight 5!!!!!!!!

  • Nana 12!!!!!!!!


And, bwahahahaha, half of them are not out on Amazon yet!

... now I know how [livejournal.com profile] coffeeandink must feel like all the time.

ETA: On the other hand, I didn't find an ARC of Octavian Nothing 2 and I forgot to look for one for Justine Chen Headley's new book.

If it's the thing the finishes off the end of the volume, it squicks me (though I take heart in the fact that vol 4 will hopefully make it go away quickly!)

Books - they taunt us with their shiny cost.

Oh, you haven't read 1 and 2 yet? Remind me and I'll bring them!

I hate that thing too, but I love every single other element in the series.

Oh, so THAT's where they went!
