A good start to 2011:

[via here]

I sent my love letter to Thriftbooks and they sent me a $15 gift card just for loving them. So this morning I used it to purchase the following books:

1. The Mercy of Thin Air: A Novel
2. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
3. Cold Sassy Tree
4. How to Breathe Underwater: Stories
5. Joy in the Morning

And the order I placed for my birthday should be arriving any day now. I am keeping our postman very busy.
