with a dreamy far off look, and her nose stuck in a book

where do you turn when your vacation has suddenly come to an end, school is suddenly staring you straight in the face, it's cold (relatively speaking... i'm used to the desert), and you really wish you could just jump back into last month??

amazon of course!

since i had decided not buy any books from amazon until the semester is over (i have a pile of borrowed books from people i really have to get through), i limited myself to 6 books. actually, there were 7 but i accidentally cancelled one (dont ask how) and considered it a sign from god. some of the books dont even count as going against my decision since they're not really book books, some have been in my shopping cart forever, and i needed something to look forward to so dont judge my amazon addiction.

heres what i bought:

Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games)

By: Suzanne Collins

F U, Penguin: Telling Cute Animals What's What
By: Matthew Gasteier

The Song Is You: A Novel
By: Arthur Phillips

Water for Elephants: A Novel
By: Sara Gruen

Well Enough Alone: A Cultural History of My Hypochondria
By: Jennifer Traig

Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood
By: Jennifer Traig

so i will be obsessively checking my order's status in hopes that it arrives early, while at the same time kinda hoping it doesnt so i can read the people's books and get them back to them. school is not fitting into my plans forthis semester. oh well.

and in case you're a little dense this morning, i'm back in the states.
