Surprises in the mail

Sometime last week, I decided to reward myself by purchasing two items off my Amazon Wish List.  But, I argued with myself, the two items had to be academically related.  We had mentioned Rita Felski’s Literature after Feminism in class discussion either that week (or the week before) and so I wouldn’t forget about it, I placed it on my wish list right after class.  I figured, this must be a sign that I need to buy this text, especially since I’ll be using a mixture of Queer and Feminist theory for my research project.  I also decided to finally buy a copy of Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss, which has been on my wish list for almost two years now.  I placed my order and then promptly forgot about it, caught up in working on my class presentation, handout, and paper for the 14th of September (today).

Well, sometime this afternoon, while I was at the library from 11:30 am until 5:15 pm, my books arrived from Amazon!  Such a happy, sweet surprise, even if it did come from myself.  Check ‘em out below (and ignore the slight blurriness of the picture).  I’m going to browse through Eats, Shoots & Leaves, eat some leftover candy, and then crash.
