kyburg20. Twilight, Stephenie Meyer.
Oh dear GHAD, that's over. *Mails away and deletes the rest of the books from her Amazon cart.*
21. The Twelve Kingdoms, Sea of Wind, Fuyumi Ono.
Another unexpectedly delightful read - but I wonder if I'll get the rest of this series evar as it was pubbed by the Evil Empire and they're toast.
22. The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee - Observations on Not Fitting In, Paisley Rekdal.

23. Little Butterfly, manga by Hinako Takanaga.
