I had to finally get around to fixing my car in order to make it home safely for Thanksgiving, so for November I tried to limit my purchases to things I had already ordered or preordered. I was actually doing really well until Right Stuf had a massive sale on DrMaster publications and I picked up a bunch of Iron Wok Jan! volumes (some of which I’m still waiting on). Of course, there were a few eBay auctions that snuck in under the radar, too. I finally got my copy of Yaya Sakuragi’s Stay Close to Me which was technically released in October. I’m a fan of Sakuragi’s work, so was very happy that another of her titles was released in English and I hope more are licenced. The first chapter of the gorgeous Teahouse yaoi webcomic is now available in print, hooray! And I also picked up a couple of Jake Shimabukuro‘s CDs after getting the chance to see him in concert. A great time was had by all.
