Yep, all I want are books. Of course, I wouldn't say no to a Saint Laurent handbag, but that's not very likely. So, books it is. I'm hoping to get some of these lovelies:
What do you think? Not a bad bunch,eh? As you can tell, I'm on a Miriam Toews kick - I am in love with her writing. Her novel,
All My Puny Sorrows, was absolutely BRILLIANT!!! I need to read more of her work ASAP. Yoshimoto will soothe my craving for more Japanese Literature and the Coates book is most definitely a must read (especially after watching him discuss his book on a morning show recently). And the anthology by Moraga and Anzaldua is a blast from my past - a book that I've read countless time, but never actually owned (its about time!).
I have so many other titles on my wish list, but I chose the ones that I can see myself settling down with sooner, rather than later. Do you have any suggestions about what I should add to the list?
And now, I'm off to read
Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica. So far, I'm not so sure if I'll be sticking with it - I'm feeling rather underwhelmed by it. Has anyone read it? What did you think?

I like Yoshimoto, but have never read Toews. Here's hoping you get all the books on your list and more for your birthday!
Books make the best birthday gifts! I hope yours is wonderful. :D
I hope you get all the books on your list, Nadia!
I had started Pretty Baby awhile ago, but was distracted by other books. I've seen mostly good reviews - I hope it gets better for you!
I bought The Flying Troutmans years ago and never have gotten around to reading it. Thanks for the reminder. Hope you get a lot of these!
Lark, I like Yoshimoto, too. Her stories are always so fantastical. As for Toews - her writing is amazing! Definitely check her out! Thanks :)
Emily, they really do :) Thanks so much!
Brandie, me too - LOL! Thanks!! I'm hoping it gets better, too. So far, I'm just not gelling with it - but it could be my mood. Maybe I'll put it down for now and pick it up again later.
Lisa, definitely don't forget Toews :) Thanks - I hope I do, too!
Ooh I haven't seen those Miriam Toews covers. I've read The Flying Troutmans but not the others yet. I would also recommend Irma Voth by Toews.
