Young Adult chapter books, Comics, Rain

Raining moderately hard all day.
The flashing came off the roof facade again (3rd time) and it was dripping onto the ceiling and leaking into one of the light fixtures when I arrived this morn. Called the landlord and he sent someone out around 1 pm. Seems to have re-attached it for now, but it need to be redone, and they say they will.

Diamond Comics shipment arrived.

Shelved 4 or 5 stacks of young adult paperbacks, good stuff IMOHO.
