merry xmas! (exactly right on time! definitely! for sure! right on time!)

Well, well, well, my old enemy, we meet again:

Too many books, too little shelf-space.

Counting the three books I received via my wishlist (which I am, because while they got here awhile ago, I didn't get home to them until after Christmas, LOL), I have gotten 17 books this Christmas! XD Needless to say, I am utterly delighted with my haul. Also, I don't have space for them all, LMAO. I'm gonna have to go through my books again and toss some old stuff out. I've already ejected around 30-50 books this last year (I wasn't counting) so I'm basically a pro at this point.

Still. 'Tis a sacrfice I am willing to make *pumps fist* I have so many new sci-fi books now and now I only gotta get around to reading them.

Also! Thank you profiterole_reads for recommending me The Darkness Outside Us and thusly reminding me that hey, I own that book. Maybe I should... actually read it? I devoured it in two days; absolutely phenomenal, I had a great time. (The other book on that list you reminded me I own is Winter's Orbit. Maybe... I'll read that too? Someday? I've got so many books I haven't read, LOL.)

It was Stuff Your Kindle over on romancebookworms.com a few days ago and I snagged over a hundred books, so that dilemma has only gotten worse. And yesterday there was a huge sale on a bunch of fantasy books so my budget took another beating. Some of them might still be on sale according to the post, but I don't have it in me to go through that many books again. I was already very nearly vanquished by the Stuff Your Kindle thing. It took so long to nab the books just due to the sheer volume, sigh.

All in all I've had a lovely Christmas. Met up with family, won the first game of Yahtzee I've played in like 15+ years without even knowing the rules, eaten a lot of chocolate goodies. (All that time with family did definitely knock out a lot of my Conversation Energy, though.)

I've had a good time XD

Oh, it was definitely an experience. That first time the MC played the violin and noted his lack of callouses I was instantly "he's a clone!" and then I was *right*, lol.

I had a lot of fun reading it, and I really enjoyed the characters :D

And The Brightness Between Us certainly does sound like it could be a sequel...
