I still haven't read these books though. <br /><br />A great haul!! I love Barnes & Noble. I know it's not a little independent store, but there aren't any in my area. At all. And I love being about to grab a cappacino, find a lounge chair and just peruse books!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22449400.post-20953836081226024862009-08-06T20:33:41.935-05:002009-08-06T20:33:41.935-05:00Hope you enjoy your books. :)Hope you enjoy your books. :)Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22449400.post-28826860542324302922009-08-06T16:16:57.619-05:002009-08-06T16:16:57.619-05:00Sounds like a perfect anniversary!

Is that silly or what? The books you got sound so damn cool! I hadn't heard of Elf Realm either. But I will be on the look out for it now! And Panic in Level 4 is going right onto my wishlist. Sounds too cool to pass up. And of course I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the three Gaiman's as much as you did :)chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22449400.post-44602493524694703582009-08-05T21:53:43.430-05:002009-08-05T21:53:43.430-05:00If you want to tear (that's as in crying tears...If you want to tear (that's as in crying tears, not rips) up, listen to Neil Gaiman reading Blueberry Girl. He posted the link to it on his blog a while back. When I looked at the book in B&N, I could hear him reading it.

Gaiman children's books are truly a delight, visually and in their wordplay. I've read Blueberry Girl but have yet to get myself a copy. I'll remedy that no doubt! I need to get a copy of Crazy Hair sometime as well. I think Wolves in the Walls is my favorite, perhaps as much because of the kind of book it is...a little bit creepy...as anything else.<br /><br />I'm so glad you had a relaxing family day together. It sound so simple and yet so luxurious. Decadent...that was a good word!<br /><br />I've added the Keri Smith books to my wishlist as they sound wonderful.Carl V.
