jakebe | Today's Book Haul (with Proper Punctuation) (Reply)

Hop to It: A Guide to Training Your Pet Rabbit by Samantha Hunter. I figure this'll be invaluable for when I'm settled in to my future CA home and the time has come for me to claim a little bunny for my very own. :) What's interesting is the book is written by just some woman who owns a rabbit (I think she knows an editor over at Barron's), so there's very little in the way of scientific research but chock-full of her personal experience owning a rabbit. Obviously I'll want to get another book on the subject (she recommends a few, which is really good of her), but this is a very nice 'field' supplement.

The Bookstore Mouse by Peggy Christian. Spied this while on the phone with

lazarusrat at work; I don't *quite* know what it's about, but it's a children's book with the most adorable art ever. Also, it's about a mouse(!) who lives in a bookstore(!!) and uses words to get himself out of all manner of sticky situations(!!!). For instance, he writes down impenetrable and foreboding words to build a WALL to keep himself safe. Oh my God, it's so cute I might die. :D Chances are I'll have to mail it to Master Ratty when I'm done with it, because literary diabetes is the kind of thing you share. :)

And finally...

Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion, edited by Diane K. Osbon. This was a surprise present from

invisiblewolf that I just got minutes ago!! Oh wow. :D :D I apologize in advance if I flood my journal with a plethora of Campbell quotes over the next few weeks. :)

I've resolved to limit/goad myself into buying three books a week. My quota for this week is filled, so I don't get the pleasure of splurging on payday (I buy books with the money I budget for 'food'), but I came out with a really, *really* good haul anyway. Thanks so much,

invisiblewolf, this rocks. :D

Now, on to eating, cleaning, and writing...hopefully in that order.
