What I bought with my birthday Amazon certificate

[rachelmanija]

Thank you all very, very much!

Nigella Lawson: How to Eat and How to Be a Domestic Goddess. Cookbooks. Because I love reading them, and Lawson's Feast (thanks gwyniera!) was marvellous: personal, funny, unpretentious, tempting.

The Freedom Line: The Brave Men and Women Who Rescued Allied Airmen from the Nazis During World War II. Self-explanatory, I

Mmmm, books.

Books!

I haven't read The Graveyard Book yet. I liked Coraline, but my favorite of his prose works is definitely American Gods. Or Anansi Boys. It's hard to choose, since they're so different. The latter is more fun. But the former is awesomely epic.

Of course, my favorite Gaiman work, period, is Sandman.

[rushthatspeaks]

It is also my favorite Gaiman prose work now, the more so because it should have fallen into being a Ray Bradbury ripoff and didn't.

There was no series umbrella title until someone (I forget who) suggested "the Small Change trilogy", which Jo immediately adopted because it's brilliant.

I remember her calling it "Still Life With Fascists" before that, but "Small Change" is so great no one else ever does.

Ooooo, did you already start reading the one about the Marines? I should reread that some time to see how it stands up.

Also, YYAAAAAAYYYY book loot!

Oh, I just ordered them, I haven't got any of them yet.
