Things that made me happy meme - Day Four
Jan. 4th, 2009 02:53 pmThings that made me happy: getting books in the mail
I love getting books under any circumstance, but when I get them in the mail it feels like I'm getting a present! Sometimes literally, but even if I've bought them myself.
Yesterday afternoon I got the last two books in my Christmas gift certificate orgy. People know I like getting book certificates so they tend to give them to me. Which makes me very happy. I got $80 worth this year between Barnes and Noble and Amazon, and the book glut commenced. I tend to spend every last penny, plus some of my own money. Which means I often buy used books as well as expensive or more esoteric books I might not necessarily buy otherwise. I think I did really well for myself this year.
(Ha! Jimmy Durante singing "Make Someone Happy" just followed Coldplay on iTunes.)
( This year's book haul. )
