Oh, because they're FULL OF USED BOOKS.

Oops.

So we went to lunch and the used bookstore is RIGHT THERE, so we went in to look around, and I was all "Mmmm, a book. Mmmm, a book. Mmmm, a book. Mmmm, a book. MmmWHY CAN'T I WALK ANYMORE?"

Luckily, the boyfriend put HIS pile down long enough to drag me out.

The list of Books Getted by the two of us:

Spider Robinson, "Very Bad Deaths"
Dennis L. McKiernan, "Once Upon A Winter's Night"
Alan Dean Foster, "For Love of Mother-Not"
Wen Spencer, "Alien Taste"
Grant Naylor, "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers" and "Better Than Life"
Rick Shelley, "Officer-Cadet"
Lois McMaster Bujold, "Cordelia's Honor" and also "Miles, Mystery & Mayhem" (Which I bought SOLELY because the front-cover plate describes an encounter with a hot space-wolf girl, I will be VERY let down if this isn't much in the real book...)
And the inevitable Mercedes Lackey, "Exile's Honor".

Total price, roughly $30. That's... er. Mostly okay. Mostly.
So yay, books!

Exile's Honor - Bloody awesome.
For Love of Mother-Not - Also very awesome.

I too have to give shining recommendations of Exile's Honor; then again, I'm a well-known Mercedes Lackey fanboy ever since, in my retarded Xanth-reading days, I happened to pick up a Lackey/Anthony collab.

Oh! You've hit your Encumbrance limit. I suggest next level you take the Strong Back perk, as it lets you carry another fifty units of Stuff.
