So, yesterday I was incredibly sick with a stomach virus (it's better today, but luckily I'm not making mad dashes to the bathroom every five minutes).

And in a fit of good will, my mom apparently took my booklist with her yesterday afternoon and stopped by Barnes and Nobles. o.O

The haul (not everything that was on the list, but eh):

Fruits Basket volume 10
Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden volume 1
Pretear volume 3
The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern by Lilian Jackson Braun
Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris
The Black Swan by Mercedes Lackey
The Makioka Sisters by Junichiro Tanizaki

She also got two Italian dictionaries... And yes, Half-Blood Prince as well.

I started reading it at 6:30 P.M. (after the manga, thank you) and didn't until finish 1 A.M. Yes, I was crying at the end of the book, for multiple reasons.

I cried harder when I realized I had completely ignored the Yankees-Red Sox game that had started at seven. *wails* And I call myself one of the Fenway Faithful! I am ashamed of myself.

P.S. Betcha none of you were expecting THAT! *smirk*
