Hubby gave me two books: Warlord: A Life of Winston Churchill at War, 1874-1945 by Carlo D'este and The Reagan I Knew, the book William F. Buckley Jr. was writing when he passed away. I look forward to both, but I suspect that Hubby may get around to the Churchill book before I do.
But by far my favorite reading-related gift was from my sister -- a "mudflap girl for the smart set" decal:
SMART GIRLS RULE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, and "Reading is Sexy"!
ReplyDeleteI want one of those stickers! It looks like I could get one at a bookstore and hour away--we'll see!
ReplyDeleteI found it at Powell's, for all you Portlanders!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...I'm not anonymous, I'm Schmackofatz.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday and enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! the mudflap sticker is priceless!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and Happy Recent Birthday. Books are always the right present, aren't they? And your gifts sound like good reading. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Nice stack of books too. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that mudflap!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Enjoy your books :o)
I love that mudflap!
ReplyDeleteI read a collection Churchill's speeches last year. I would be interested in learning more. And I've heard great thinks about Kirstin Lavransdatter. I hope you enjoy your books, and happy birthday! (belated.)
ReplyDeleteHBD even though belated! Sounds like it was a good one. (Love the literate mudflap cutie.)
ReplyDeleteLove the mud flap. If I had a truck and Laura would let me put flaps on it, that'd be the one. (Actually, she might insist on it, but I don't see a truck in our future.)
ReplyDeleteI've read the first of the Kristin Lavransdotter books, and it was very, very good.
