Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Best. Boyfriend. Ever.

Longtime readers of this blog know that The Boyfriend is an excellent gift giver. He seriously is. Great gifts over the years have included everything from jewelry to a full English tea service. But this year? This man has outdone himself. It almost makes up for him never taking the garbage out.

What did I get? What wonderful, new, shiny, marvelous toy did I get?

A Sony Reader! And it's engraved! The inscription? "Queen Librarian Of The Universe."

Does this man know me or what?

I also got a gift certificate for the works at a local spa (heaven!) and a lovely red cashmere sweater set because I complained about "not owning anything Christmas-y to wear." Both gifts lovely and fantastic in every way, but....

Sony Reader! Yippee!

Kristie can't have him. I've put in almost ten years and I'm wringing all the great gifts I can out of the guy LOL

I have no idea where my brain was. I knew who I was talking to. It was super late, I guess. Yeah. That's it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Had nothing to do with the three glasses of wine.

Seriously this guy needs to give classes on gift giving. What a mensch!

Gwen:
You were just worn out from the holiday. I'm positive those three glasses of wine had nothing to do with it LOL

Rosie:
He is fantastic. I can't wait to get it home, download the software, and give it a spin! Also, I can't wait to show it off to you and the rest of the So. Cal. bloggers.
