11: What do you like best about this fic?

18. How many books did you buy? I actually got a bunch for free because I live in a college neighborhood, but I did buy a few used ones! Most recently, Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek- Annie Dillard, The Treasure of the City of Ladies- Christine De Pisan from a queer bookshop in Wisconsin, also Dreams and Four Archetypes- Carl C. Jung for cheap from a random student (I'm not a Jungian don't come at me), and my enormous Art of Noir book that I got online and got signed by Eddie Muller! I'm not counting textbooks that I couldn't find elsewhere.

19. Did you use your library? Unfortunately, I don't have a public library within walking distance so I am not even signed up for it. I do have a few little free libraries around my neighborhood and lots of students just giving away books.
