I must apologise to my SS - I've been sitting on their gift for a couple of weeks! (I had a pile of packages in my office that had been arriving over the weeks - gifts from a friend who was coming for Christmas. Well, she arrived yesterday, and this morning, sorting out the packages, one was not from her. No note, no card, and I'm ashamed to say it took me a few minutes to realise that it must be from my SS!)

Two beautiful books, two dead-centre hits! Thank you so much!





The Eco I've never read! And it'll fit on my bookshelf here - thank you.



Merry Christmas!

OK, a slight (but positive) complication.

The books I posted above were addressed to me, and I thought that they came from my SS.

This afternoon, another book arrived - heavy and lovely collected letters. This one was from Waterstones, the bookshop, not Amazon (as the first two were). But this one was addressed to (my name) Teach. So this is my SS, yes?



So thank you to my Santa, whether they sent me one, or three! I'm a happy goon !


All three of these were me, and I ordered all three through Waterstones, so I have no idea why some arrived via Amazon. I'm just glad they all made it. I also snail-mailed a note, but who knows when/if that will arrive.

The Name of the Rose is one of my favorite books, so I hope you'll find it an enjoyable read. The Wasteland one was a recommendation from a friend who's big into poetry, so I hope it hits the mark.

A box arrived while I was away at my parents!

A *mystery* box I wasn't expecting. From one Dr. Activisionary.

Inside... two books







They look promising:



I'm very excited to get into these, I have a huge soft spot for graphic novels, and its the type of thing I'd see, and covet, and never buy for myself.

Thank you Dr. Activisionary!
