Well, there's the amazon one, but I'm not actually expecting anyone to buy me stuff from it:

To my extreme vexation, I've tried to change the shipping address to yours on the Amazon.com goodness three times now and the thing keeps encountering an "error, please try again." I'm just going to copy down the wanted-items, hit a store after getting back to WA, and see if I can just find a couple and ship 'em out to you. Stupid Amazon.com error.

Drat, sorry about that. On the other hand, shopping in person is more fun anyway, and then you'll have a chance to get out of the house and browse the manga or whatever it is.

Thank you very much!

PS. Love the sporks.

I have IS UNDERGROUND, I'm pretty sure, and you can have my copy. I'll check when I get home, but if I don't get back to you sometime next week, remind me. I have no memory. I also have THE SCHOLARS OF NIGHT, but will never part with it.

That would be great! Are you sure you don't want to keep it, though? It's awfully hard to find.

I remember it pretty well, and I don't think I'll reread it again. Also, do you have MIDNIGHT IS A PLACE? That's a prequel to IS UNDERGROUND.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have that one.

Man, Go Saddle the Sea/Bridle the Wind/The Teeth of the Gale are some of my favorite books ever. :)
