newnumber6Yesterday I got:
New Mutants #32 (okay end to a crossover tie in, better than many crossover events, I guess, although I'm less enthused about the title than I used to be)
And at a used bookstore I finally picked up a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So, I can eventually put that series to bed.
Speaking of used bookstores, I'm amused/annoyed. Isn't it always the way? I spend months looking for a copy of Hunger Games in used bookstores. Finally, because I ordered Children of the Sky anyway and needed something else to push it into 'free shipping' price range, I decide to order it online. Less than a week after I recieve it in the mail, and the very first time I go to the used bookstores after it... I find it there for less than half the price I paid. Grr, argh! Oh well, it's not really a big difference monetarily, but it would have been cool to have bought another book online instead and then got Hunger Games in the store as a surprise success.
Edit: And, depression ahoy, another rejection letter from short story submission. Not that I expected anything else, but it would have been nice to have at least one unambiguous win in a life full of mostly failures.
