Snort, Snort

My dahling friends. I know you're all planning on getting me some ridiculously expensive birthday present, or getting me a really hot dude inside a huge cake, or a new Mac, or expensive photographer stuff I won't know how to use (but will be happy to own and show off).

You don't have to.

All I want this year is for you guys to be with me on my birthday, and that is enough.

Okay, I lie.

I also want books. More books. Muwahahaha!! MUHUWAHAHAHAHA!! (That's supposed to be the evil laugh behind the closed doors, Sonja and Linzi.)

Lots and lots of books.

So here's a list of books that I want to hoard. I have divided them into categories, so that it's easier for you to judge me and my taste in books.

I could go on forever, except I think I lost you at NONFICTION.
Anyhoo. Some of the books here, especially the fiction ones, are available at Jarir. The rest are only available in remote countries like Trkalejhooli (true story).

Of course, if you know me, you know that I read just about anything anyway, so you can just get me any book by any author, except Dan Brown.

I can't wait to not have the time to read the books!!

Thank you (in advance)!! I promise to be very happy, and to not be online so much.

PS Stop muttering "nerd" under your breath. I can hear you.
