OMG YOU HAD THOSE THINGS IN YOUR FOOT?! AND THEY TOOK THEM OUT?!
*shivers* I’m a crybaby so I don’t think I’d be able to deal with the pain those pins must have caused.
Such pretty covers!! I really like them, especially the one for The Rules For Disappearing. It’s simple but I like it.
Oh oh oh and look at the awesomeness of that Archived package *stares*

I can only imagine how painful that was for you. Nice haul of books. Waiting to see if I get approved for Blaze or not on NG. Great haul.
