A Christmas Present

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 10-05-2011, 09:16 PM

I know which book I am getting for Christmas... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

AAAAANND it'll be an autographed copy... since Matthew is visiting Perth at the end of November...

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

...what book (or books) are on your Christmas wishlist this year?

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 10-06-2011, 12:38 AM

Ones that aren't written yet.

Really, though, I'm probably getting a Kindle for my birthday (late Nov), so I will be collecting copies of all my favourites to put onto that, plus all the free classics that I want. It'll be a productive Christmas in that regard.

I'd still prefer a couple of real books by authors who aren't releasing just yet; Nick Harkaway, Patrick Rothfuss (Kingkiller Chronicle), and Laurell K Hamilton (Meredith Gentry). *grumble*

a book with maps over al the battles of WWII would be nice or a book about tanks and other armoured vehicles complete with detailed spec and interesting reading.

And WWII planes, can't get enough of planes.

or any funny tour guide, instruction booklet or other spoof book.

Booko: Compare book & DVD prices in Australia with Booko would probably be better for you, SD.

I don't need a wishlist. The things I want aren't on Amazon.

Oh, wait. I take that back:
