I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

My brother is borrowing Seventh Son and Red Prophet (need to bug him to give them back). The thing between Hot Sleep and First Meetings is the April 1978 Analog magazine that has the original Ender's Game short story. It's wrapped in plastic since it's so old (almost as old as me!).
I'm definitely missing a few things, mostly newer books (like Empire) or older ones that I didn't enjoy (like Wyrms) and others (like Stone Tables). But I have read almost all, even if I don't own them.

I missed May, but here is June! I collected all of the books I've bought at Powell's since moving to Portland, as a way of narrowing them down.
I honestly swear there are more, but I can't find them.
Hmm, note to self: review the Amulet series in Comic Book Thread.

Totally cheating and relocating a picture from the Nesting thread. (We have since gotten the rest of our books out of storage and there's an aproximately-three-feet-high stack of books on the floor running the length of the window, as well.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

So I worked for two weeks in the city archives this month, and I took a picture of some of the shelves we audited:
The earliest of those books starts sometime before 1371 (I can't recall the exact year and I know that's when the second book starts) and they run up into the 1800s, if I recall correctly. They are, excitingly, memoranda of the city.

My bookshelf back home as of 5 years ago. I need to take an updated picture when I go home and my room is put back together from the parents' painting of the basement:
My bookshelf at college. It is tragically limited:
Is two pictures cheating?

I assume you carry a lot of that in some type of purse/backpack? I really don't think you want me to empty out my entire purse. I carry a LOT in it. Although it neatly organized. Although, it IS the only thing I always carry with me. Sigh...I guess I can empty it out.

You all have made me empty out my diaper bag. Thank you.
This is what I carry with two kids whenever I leave the house. It all goes in a backpack, except the carrier, Maggie goes in that.
-Ergo Baby Carrier (side note to pregnant friends: best carrier out there)
-wallet
-keys (usually my car keys are on there, but Paul is out with the car right now)
-spray-on sunscreen
-change pad
-toys for Maggie
-spare soother
-receiving blanket
-wet bag for dirty diapers
-bib
-spare outfit for Maggie (sleeper and babylegs)
-wipes
-cloth diaper
-disposable diaper
-a tiny polar bear (for some reason)
-2 small books
-crayons
-pad of paper
-spare outfit for Ginny (pants, shirt, underpants, 2 pairs of socks)
Usually there is a snack in there too. In fact, I'm surprised there's not more stuff in there.
