Thanks Comrade Santa, some cool stuff here and things I've been meaning to check out Sorry that the box got messed up, at least they were books, and kinda hard to damage with blunt weight. I hope you enjoy your RED Christmas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NKHJ64qRR8

I asked for someone’s favorite book, and dear god this is gorgeous. Filled with illustrations too:  I will soon be reading this by light of a Christmas tree. Thank you! (And thanks to some bookmarks, I now have a new bookstore to visit.)

As promised, I put this at the top of my to-read pile, and I just finished it. Three introductions, the novel, and the first chapter of the unfinished next book. What a great book!

I got a package yesterday! It was perfect timing, since our winter break starts today and I'll have lots of time to sit around and read. In it was Dancing at the Edge of the World by Ursula K. Leguin and Kalpa Imperial: The Greatest Empire That Never Was by Angélica Gorodischer, translated by Ursula K. Leguin. Both of these look awesome, and I've been wanting to read more translated books, so this is excellent! I can't wait to read these and get more cultured. Thank you so much!

I have received BOOKS! Now I can spend 5% more time thinking about the Roman Empire! The other book is science fiction related to the Stalker franchise, presumably being that close to the zone, it is in fact filled with bees! Thank you very much Santa!

 It cost me an import duty of one chicken treat to Junior Customs Officer Bonnie, but I received book shaped and sized package today  Cool beans! I even had the first one on my Amazon wishlist that I didn't link, looking forward to reading both, thanks Santa!

The 3x Leguin combo was kind of an accident -- I forgot she was the translator on Kalpa Imperial -- but a happy one, hopefully. Enjoy!

I have received two awesome-looking books. One is Antivehicular's extra book, and the other is a Fitzcarraldo release from Gertrude Perkins. Thank you both! I also have now sent out my package; misadventure prevented me from shipping it on Saturday. It should arrive by the end of the week.
