The Wishlist

Because the job hunt has remained as fruitless as it is irritating, I've changed my mind. I've decided to post a wishlist of books needed so that I can continue to deliver snarks to y'all. I figure I should be productive in at least one area of my life.

Anyway, here's the list.  I know some may object but I've chosen the books that have most of the books smashed together because I figure it'd be cheaper than buying each separate book, but if you do feel you wanna buy them separate rather than together, we've just finished book number nineteen so I need book number twenty or for those who don't object to collected books, I need the one entitled "Frantic."  Can't help but think that Ellanjay have a nice racket going being able to stretch the series out so long. I pity poor Fred whose not even halfway through yet. Pray for the man.

Anyway,  I think my loyal and faithful readers for their comments and their encouragement. I feel bad hitting up people like this. I hope if you all do decide to help out that you're okay with the fact that you're helping out a total worrywart who is terrible with money and people.

Botherit! I can't buy Kindle titles in the USA, even to give to a USAnian, because my Amazon account is in the UK,.

Sorry I don't know what to tell you. I'm not sure how to fix something like that.

I'd happily supply Frantic, but I'm a bit confused on the way to gift Kindle. Have you got it already?

Mouse said...

No I haven't. I'm a bit confused on how this works also.

As one of the people who was pushing you to do this in the first place, I'm annoyed and apologetic that it's not working. The first item, "Arrived: 38-40", has a "Give as a Gift" button, but then I'm told that as my account's in the UK I can't pay for US items. The others, the paper books, give me the usual "Add to Cart" button, but if I follow that through I can only select my own delivery address - whereas with a wish list I'd normally get the option of sending it to you instead.

Bah.

I think I got it figured out. Check the email address you have listed on your profile.

Gift received. Thank you, thank you, Thrownaway.

Just got the first on the list for you, I've been trying to catch up with your blog. Got here from Slactivist when you announced that you were continuing your wandering through the desert of these books. Very nice snarking, and I am nicking one of your comments for an embroidery sampler I am (and have been, and probably will be for a long time) designing with Snarky tee shirt sayings in between pretty stitched bands.

Oh, the quote is "current excitement level, comatose". Goes well with some of the quotes from tee shirts from some of the mmmm- less reverent catalogs?
