And now, the birthday loot report!

This being the record of things lovely people gave to me to celebrate my birthday:

  • From userinfospazzkat, the DVD set of season 3 of MacGyver and the recently released Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora, mostly because the planet is way more interesting to me than the movie ;)
  • From userinfosolarbird, a physical copy of the album Nomad Soul by Baaba Maal (which I had previously borrowed electronically from userinfosksouth), two CDs by Afro Celt Sound System, and one by Altan which I actually already had and will be exchanging for something else
  • From userinfomamishka, a $20 gift certificate to Amazon
  • From userinfotechnoshaman, a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card
  • And from userinfobrombear, who showed up for Jam this afternoon since he’s in town, a couple of gift certificates to Kinokuniya Bookstore, the bookstore next to Uwajimaya downtown. To wit, awesome!

Many thanks to you all! And me being me, I have of course already blown the Amazon and B&N gift cards on books, as follows:

  • Storm Born, by userinfoblue_succubus. Urban fantasy. Re-buy in ebook form
  • Septimus Heap, Book One, Magyk, by Angie Sage. YA
  • Ragamuffin, by Tobias S. Buckell. SF
  • Deader Still, by userinfoantonstrout. Urban fantasy. Re-buy in ebook form
  • Devil’s Due, by userinforachelcaine. Romance. Buying in ebook form, previously read as library book
  • The Visitor, by Sheri Tepper. SF
  • The Hidden City, by Michelle West. Fantasy

And now the total of books acquired for 2010 is up to 33, and I’m not even done with January yet. Whee!
