You might be wondering...

Just how did I survive Lent?  I don't know.  I didn't, since I bought books, and I wasn't supposed to.  BUT, I also didn't read any of them (which isn't a surprise, I have like, a billion books ahead of these new ones anyway).

I spent time doing homework and focusing on school (kind of), playing videogames (namely Persona 3 Portable and Lego Harry Potter - again), reading some of Harry Potter 1 (In all honesty, I have never read the book series - just got straight to the movies, and then read 7 for character research on Narcissa) and most of Victoria Gotti's book This Family of Mine.  That one's actually a good read, I really got drawn into it.  Bitch knows how to write, AND she's educated, despite what most people would assume for a mafia daughter with plastic surgery.  I dare y'all to read it.  I haven't finished it yet though but I'm like on the last 1/5 of the book.

I also bought this last Thursday, the 28th but forgot to mention it.

Kerrelyn Sparks - Vampire Mine

I dunno.  It's different.  I got it at Target for 25% off.  We'll see how it is in, oh, about a year xD

It is a sad, sad world...

...when you drop by your local Borders that's got nine days left till permanent closing and see all the signs posted on the walls that say "FINAL DAYS, EVERYTHING MUST GO!"

And it was even more sadder that there was not one single romance novel left for me to ogle over and buy.

I forget whether or not I mentioned this but the last time I went to Borders before this, I bought Brenda Joyce's Deadly Illusions and Karen Hawkins' The Seduction of Sara (artwork by Jon Paul, I know, I saw it on his site).  I haven't seen the Deadly Vows book in a while, never got the chance to buy it so that's gonna be next if I can ever locate it.

Tracy Anne Warren - At The Duke's Pleasure (UPDATED)

I finished it...and Tracy Anne Warren has indeed outdone herself again.  It's a battle-of-the-sexes thing going on here, but essentially it's also a story where, "whoever falls in love first loses."

That's not a quote from the book, mind you.  I'm just saying.

It's been a long road, so...

This morning as I was driving my mom and aunt to church (we're Catholic, go figure) I realized that Lent is over and I CAN GO READ MY ROMANCE NOVELS AGAIN!

Excuse me while I go dive into Tracy Anne Warren's At The Duke's Pleasure.


I'll be busy for the rest of the day : ) *happy happy*

Fat bunnies are fat!

This sinking feeling...

I was at Borders earlier, the one nearest my house.  It's a travesty to see my favorite store (and yes, this is my favorite store, for I shop more for books than clothes and food) closing, and right near my house.

Lent, you suck.

I don't think I can hold out without my books for much longer.  I've been pretty restless, and I stare at my shelf of books every moment I can.  There's a book I started (another Byron book) before this entire Lenten ordeal started, and Easter's in 23 days (April 24th).  Seriously...I'm definitely suffering here.

When I said giving up my romance novels was going to be easy, I didn't think it was going to be this bad.  The Borders down the street from my house is closing, and I can't buy any new books.  My membership is pretty much wasted if the damn store's closing.  I go to Target and see more new books (there's a certain Jo Beverley one I'm interested in purchasing) and like...come onnnnnnnnnnnn!

FML, y'all.
