Looking forward to Secret Keeper for sure; hope Santa reads your list (he's very busy you know) LOL
That Stardust edition has been in a lot of Santa wish-lists, and deservedly - so lovely! If we're dreaming high, I'd love to actually get my own Ideal Bookshelf illustration by La Force!
Diane - Even if Santa doesn't get to my list, maybe the Huz will!
Alex - I'm so with you on that one. I would love to have my favorite books illustrated by La Force. That would be incredible! I think Stardust is probably the one I'm lusting after the most.
I definitely wouldn't mind getting the new edition of Stardust either!
Instructions looks absolutely beautiful! I also loved The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland -- ask Santa (or hubz) for the sequel to that one that just came out to get a pair of them! :D
The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making is soooo good!!! (:
I'm sensing a theme here...
+JMJ+
There are lots of great children's classics here! Are you, like Jenners says, going for a theme? ;-)
Ana - I've been meaning to re-read it and that edition is so tempting.
Nikki - Will do! That one looks wonderful too. I attended a talk Gaiman gave a couple years ago and he read all of Instructions aloud, it was just lovely.
Alouette - Oh good! I keep hearing great things.
Jenners - Only that I love the Penguin/Puffin books and I can't ever justify buying them for myself, it's not some hint at something else, I promise!
Enbrethiliel - Oh good lord, I didn't even think of that. No, definitely not planning for some kid-related surprise, I just love that series of books!
