yacoba tagged me and since the meme looks interesting, I shall do it (and not ignore tags as per usual).

Total number of books owned:

Honestly, I have no clue. Well over 1000, I'm sure (I know I have over 100 volumes of manga and that's only a fraction of them all). Some day, after I move and have all the ones I want to keep with me, I might count/catalogue them somehow.

Last book bought:

xxxHolic vol 11. At least I'm pretty sure this was the last one I bought, since most of my money in March went towards the Wii. I bought this one just after Animaritime, hilariously enough, from The Hairy Tarantula when I had to go to the post office to send Erin's charger back to her.

Last book read:

I just finished the first Twelve Kingdoms book. Fun times, I want the second book but alas I don't know if I want it enough to buy in hardcover (especially since HC funds need to be saved for the last Kushiel book, OMG the series is almost over!)

Five books that mean a lot to you:

Only five? Ouch. Okay, let's see.

1. The aforementioned Kushiel series (it counts as one, dammit!). I love those books so very much. By far my favourite fantasy series (though Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters trilogy isn't too far behind them).

2. Wuthering Heights. I could read this book a million times and still love it. Emily Bronte is so amazing.

3. White Oleander. Again, another book I could read and read and READ (which means I really need to get Janet Fitch's second book, Paint it Black).

4. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Not the whole series, just this one book. It is brilliant.

5. Gone with the Wind. It was a hard choice, but out of all the others I considered, this is the one that I would pick if I could only have this book and the previous four. Love GWTW, must read it again sometime (maybe slower this time, since I originally read the entire 1000+ pages in uh...less than a week).


Tagging...no one. Tags are lame. If you feel like doing this, go right ahead (and if you really want to, you can pretend I actually tagged you).

*sigh*

Today is one of those days when I just did not want to get out of bed. Which means I didn't go grocery shopping again, but I took food from Tims so I at least can have breakfast. Tomorrow I'll have to go though.

My cheque from Wiley is in now, but I didn't pick it up today either because I was so beat this morning.

I wonder if it will be two of us again tonight. Nida was in the hospital earlier this week, so I'm not really expecting her to be there. Hopefully she's doing better soon, because I love her.
