Wow! What a list! I can’t wait to get reading!
The haul looks good, but the shelf will need straightening! Happy New Year! ;D
ReplyDeleteKookiejar's going to be so happy that you bought Oil!
ReplyDeleteBybee, yes I know! How could I pass that book up after a review like she gave? I'm still waiting for her to come by and jump up and down in excitement for me! Here's hoping that I LIKE it when I read it!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Maggie.. so far, the books haven't made it to the shelf... just stacks on the floor! The shelf WILL need a major shuffling around, that's for sure.
Oil! Yahoo!
ReplyDelete*kookie stops jumping up and down long enough to read the other comments* Oh, hi Byee! *waves*
Suey, you know I'm going to be waiting with breathless anticipation to hear what you think of "Oil!"...even if you hate it. :D
