I think I need this shirt...

Love it!!!

Bibliophibian Shirt

It says:

You've got too many books. They crowd the shelves two or three deep, sideways or stacked any way they'll fit; they pile on tables waiting to be read, re-read, or simply kept forever. It's gotten to the point where they've started to multiply when you're not watching -- there's definitely more today than yesterday. And it'll keep on like this, until there's nothing at all left but books, books, and more books. How glorious.

Others don't understand, but you -- you breathe the stuff. You inhale paper and exhale ink; you live between pages, and your habitat is the written word. For you are a bibliophibian.

Holiday Book Wish List

I never did a holiday book wish list before the holidays. :( I was thinking about it the other day. Well, I'm going to do one now! Hey, I could get a New Year's gift, couldn't I? *laughs* And...my birthday is coming up in March... *hint hint to anyone out there who wants to send me a gift* It's going to be a long list, so I hope you're prepared. I'll keep it to the books I KNOW I want (instead of the books I know I want and the books I sorta want and the books I want b/c I can't find them at the library). :)
