My Wishlist

I was over at Books for the Holidays...




...and I was checking out the latest post about "our own" lists. I had never thought to share that...

It is kinda funny actually, next Tuesday is my birthday and I have been trying to figure out what I really want. I just keep thinking about books! I have so many that I'm blessed with through reviews and such, but there are still so many others that I want. Then there are the quilts, I have so many quilt kits that I'm working on that it's ridiculous and I really should not acquire any more until I have completed some of these, but there are just so many cute and pretty ones out there that just scream cozy at me! Then there are the cross stitch kits... I have been pretty good about not getting any of those lately, but then my sister goes and gets pregnant again and I am off to the store to get a cross stitch quilt kit, but can I stop with just the one?!? Of course not! Too many others were on sale or calling my name. *sigh*

One of the absolute best things about my house is the surprise Quilting Den. The official name of my bonus room is the "Quilting Den". My mama came up with that. It covers both the quilts and the reading part. *grin* Well... when we were looking at the house we knew it was four bedrooms. Master on bottom and three on top.. It was not until we were in the house and walking up the stairs and we were like "huh? There are five doors..." Well!!! Three bedrooms, one bathroom and a HUGE bonus room!! MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE! *snicker*

At least DH does not have to look at fabric and books all over the place. I'm relatively cleaned up, nothing crosses the threshold and that works for me. (Quilt planning can get a little hectic...)

So... I'm always open for cross stitch quilts, especially if they include quilts.. Then quilt kits... I'm such a sucker... and about books... well I'll share a more specific list....

Okay, now for an explination. My favorite types of books are historical fiction, mostly Christian, but not always limited to that. I'm not sure out of last year from my sister that I have gotten books as gifts... which is odd considering how much of a book junkie I am. I love books. I would love to receive any and everything as a gift. I always keep my goodreads profile update with what I own and I even have a "to-own" list so people could know what I really want. LOL www.goodreads.com/profile/cherryblossommj

Most of these books make it on my wishlist because either I read them from the library and I'm dying to have them for my permanent shelves, or it finishes off a series I'm holding on to, or I just plain love everything by the author.

Oh, and I'm always looking for a good vegetarian cookbook to find some creative ways to add veggies into our meals...

Oh, and I'm looking also at those devotionals that deal with good books like: Walking with Bilbo or Walking with Frodo by Sarah Arthur, or The Gospel According to Tolkien by Ralph Wood, and so on...

I'm sure I'll also think of a million more things to say as soon I press Publish...

Wow, that's quite an impressive list you've got there. I had forgotten about the Tales of Beedle the Bard!

Christine Lynxwiler said...

Hey!
I can make at least one of your wishes come true. If you'll send me your mailing address to Christine_Writes@yahoo.com, I'll send you a hot off the press copy of Alibis in Arkansas as soon as I get them. From one November birthday girl to another. And as a thank you for putting one of my books (co-written with my sisters) on your WISH LIST! ~ Blessings, Christine Lynxwiler

You have some great titles (and authors) on your list!! I need to make out mine too.

I'm jealous of your bonus Quilting Den!! That sounds just perfect!

Ali, I just cannot stop, the lists keep coming... lol

About HP, have you seen the new covers for 2008? I'm not too impressed. I prefer the original American covers myself... Definitely looking forward to adding Tales of Beetle the Bard to my shelf. *sigh* One day.

Thanks for stopping by Creative Madness!

Sunny - The Quilting Den is sooo nice! I was all excited about this weekend because I was going to have a Quilt-A-thon, but no... My mother has the power cord to my machine, and then my friend cancelled on me. *sigh*

Carol M said...

How wonderful to have a room of your own for your quilts and books! :) I wish I had a place to keep my books so that I could find what I wanted easily. Right now they are anywhere that I can find room. lol

Happy Birthday! My son is the only person in our family with a November birthday. His is on the 12th.

You've got some great books on your wish list. I am going to have to check out Silent on the Moor as I read the other two and enjoyed them.
