Here's a close up of the writing books. I'd really rather not type all these in, but I can clarify a title or author if you have trouble seeing it in the photo.
I'd like to thank my numerous benefactors for supplying me with this staggering supply. My mom, who bought eight of the writing books and who also let me raid her basement library. Megan, who bought four writing books plus two novels. Zoe, who sent me a writing book and became my first online friend with whom I had physical contact. My aunt Karen, who gave me five books that were all duplicates (they are all Backspace authors). I'll also thank my dad who waited patiently at the bookstore while I perused every single aisle.
Finally, a sunset picture from the other night. The sun is actually behind me in the picture; the bright spot is a cloud.

That's a lot of stinkin' books! You better hunker down and get to reading. :)
And the pic is gorgeous.
Ohmigosh! You have National Geographics! My father collected them, had BOXES of them going back to the 1950s. I used to sit in the basement and read through them (mostly looking at the pictures) for HOURS.
My got rid of them all. I hear you can get them on a CD, now, but it's not the same. Not quite as magical.
My mom got rid of them , I mean. LOL, I skipped a word!
Yeah, funny thing about the National Geographics. My parents got Ibis a subscription for Christmas a couple years ago, then we moved to Mexico a week later. So instead of getting them monthly like normal people, we get them in bulk whenever I go home or they come here. It's Ibis' favorite thing I bring back.
Now I have a hilarious picture in my head of you carrying giant stack o' books taller than you are...hahah!!!
LOL, they were wobbling when I took the picture - I was sure they'd fall just as I pressed the button.
Wow, that is a lot of books!! I'm impressed!! (Mainly cause I'm a weakling and don't think I could lift a suitcase with all of those!)
*giggles*
You think I lifted my suitcase?
*giggles again*
Heavens no. My smaller carry-on suitcase was pretty heavy, but within the limits, and I did lift that thing a couple times.
Get busy reading!
Wow! That picture of books looks pretty cool. Could you be a book writer/reader guinea pig and say which ones you like as you read them? Be your best frie-end!d
Not sure where that extra "d" came from. Ha!
OMG it's kind of funny seeing a picture of the book I sent you. So weird. You dont' really think about your stuff living in other environments haha.
Wow, what a stack of books! Definitely worth the suitcase breaking, eh?

Wendy, I am!
Robin, of course! I can do mini book reports at the end of each one.
Zoe, I know what you mean. My mom was with me when I opened it and before I tore the envelope I said, "This is my first physical contact with the online world!" I'd be lying if it didn't cross my mind that there could be a dead chicken or something in there, but I was relieved to find the book and your note. :D
Pink, definitely. And welcome!
Don't they have book stores in Mexico!??!?! Doesn't Amazon deliver there?? LOL. That is an insane amount of books! I have 'The Writers Little Helper' and I'm using it to get me started with my new WIP. I think you'll enjoy it, though it's a bit random and disorganized. Plus, I think it was fast-track edited as there are a few gramatical and spelling mistakes.
Aaron, there aren't any bookstores here. There is a small library but it doesn't have anything I'm interested in.
As for shipping, it's outrageous. I once ordered something that weighed about 3 oz and cost $2, then paid $30 for shipping. I paid $35 for my overweight suitcase and figured that was a good deal.
LOL @ grammatical mistakes in a writing book. :D
Nice pictures. Enjoy the books. Does Ibis get any attention!
Happy reading
