This most recent weekend was wonderful. We went on an adventure in Lancaster, PA and I stumbled across a glorious bookstore called Dogstar Books and I found a ton of stunning old books, like a full collection of Charles Dickens books that I wanted with a passion that I didn't have money for...they do buy used books as well, and not just antiquarian stuff from what I can tell of what I bought. I got mostly newer printed books. One is a classic though....does that count?

I also bought two new manga for myself while I was at Zenkaikon over the weekend. I picked up Sacred #1 by Lizbeth Jimenez and Seven Deadly Sins #3 by Nakaba Suzuki. Sacred was okay. She definitely needs an editor before publishing new volumes, to catch all of the spelling errors. The story, though strange, was decent. I'm going to post a review on it soon. 

I didn't get much in the way of writing done this month. I'm saving it for April's Camp NaNo. 

Got a brilliant tote from BooksandTea on Discord. It's a quote from Samantha Shannon's The Mime Order series. I've read all but the short story and I loved it. When I saw it up online, I wanted it very much.
