Why are my arms so heavy?

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.

Both of them the boyfriend's picks. Still, I'll likely jam my nose into them eventually.

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.
