dancin' little marionette

so i sold some of my books back today and i left the store feeling quite frustrated. i got an entire $49 for the books...one of which i paid $110 for. that's absolutely ridiculous. not only that, but the one book i had no desire to keep--Carmilla--the lesbian vampire, is just the book that has no value so i get to hang on to that little gem. i probably should have just kept some of the other ones for the hell of it. i mean, what a waste.
