My birthday this year has been all about books. As I mentioned yesterday, Mark bought me four. I bought myself Stephanie Alexander’s Kitchen Garden Companion and today some more books arrived in the mail and Rhonda came to visit with a gift which contained yet more books! Such an excellent birthday!!
The books which arrived in the mail were the first 8 in the Sookie Stackhouse series, on which True Blood is based. I tried to be good and borrow them from the library, but the waiting list for them is too long. And they were a bargain on ebay. In the meantime Rad has loaned us the first season of True Blood on DVD so my dilemma now is whether to read the books or watch the series first. Hmmm…
Rhon’s gift was Meeting Fairies, which looks like a lovely read, Homework for Grownups, which looks both a bit of fun and a bit useful in years to come and a set of Tasmanian Oak knitting needles, all wrapped in a Tibetan book bag (although mine doesn’t look like any of the ones on the site).
All in all, as I said, a most excellent birthday!!
