There are a number of book series that I’m collecting that I need additional books for. I LOVE USED BOOKS. In fact, I like them better than new ‘cause then they’re all comfy and broken in. Soft cover, hard cover – I don’t care. So here are the book collections I’m looking to fill in.

- Vicky Bliss books by Elizabeth Peters. I have the first three and the 5th and 6th; I still need the 4th one: Trojan Gold

- Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters. There are about 6 jillion of them. Here are the ones I HAVE; I would like to have any that is NOT on this list: The Crocodile on the Sandbank; The Mummy Case; Lord of the Silent; The Last Camel Died at Noon; The Golden One; The Falcon at the Portal; The Ape Who Guards the Balance. Here is a list of the series: http://www.ameliapeabody.com/bookshelf.htm

- Jasper Fforde books - any of the Thursday Next series EXCEPT "First Among Sequels" (there are 5 books that I DON'T have in this series - listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_Fforde). Another book by this author that's from a new series that I'd like to have is called _Shades of Grey_.

- Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books. I have books 1-6, 8, 11 and a novella called “New Spring”; I need books 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14. (But book 14 hasn’t been published yet so it’ll probably be pretty hard to find. ☺) See all titles here: http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/index.php

- The Princess Diaries Volume VI and a Half: The Princess Present. (Unless somebody borrowed it from me. I could have sworn I had this one.)

*Young Adult novels

*Manipulatives for a math classroom, e.g. dice, counters, blocks, etc. (check out educational websites)

*Help finishing our house projects

*Gift Cards to Wal-Mart, Target, or clothing stores

*Pantry cabinet (like Mom and Dad's metal one but wood, old/used/antique is great!)

don't be confused

the last post by mom is indeed NOT this year's xmas list for her. that was posted in november of 2007, which is pretty much the last time anyone posted on here. so you're not off the hook, mom, you still have to post another list! :)

Tessie's UPDATED 2008 xmas list

in no particular order:

1. Takuya Kimura J-dramas on DVD. They can be bought online, probably most easily on Ebay. Titles include "Hero", "Engine" and many more!

2. digital photo frame

3. wireless mouse for my laptop (i already have several mousepads, so that's not needed)

4. Chinese cookbooks. I found 3 specifically at Barnes and Noble that would be awesome for me. I know nothing about even the basics of Chinese cooking, and these would be helpful and/or entertaining:

-- Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey Through China. By Jen Lin-Liu
--Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China. By Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid
--Wok Cooking Made Easy: Delicious Meals in Minutes. Published by Periplus, ISBN 079460496X

(I already have a bamboo steamer, a wok with utensils, and a rice cooker, so i think i just need a few ingredients and some knowledge!)

5. An iPod of some sort. I hear there's a new version coming out next week (September), so prices should be falling a lot.
