Sorry - of course it's ok to change your wish lists. We'll let you know when we're ready to pair everyone with a secret santa, so's you'll know when to finalise your lists.

I didnt know either Nic, and also had The Wild Girl on my wish list, I found out it was the same book by looking on www.fantasticfiction.co.uk. It's an excellent website, very useful. Have you read One Thousand White Women by him? I picked it up from the apartment bookshelf in Greece in May and loved it.

yep, and I loved it too My friend recommended it to me but I wasn't sure - it looked at bit too trashy (I'm a bit of a book snob)- but I actually really enjoyed it.

| should probably add that for those who don't know-Emilie is still only a month old at mo..but that any young kiddies books would be fine as i am already building a collection for when shes a couple of years older of timeless classics that we enjoyed as really small kids and anything designed for really really young children (i'm thinking a baby book or picture or pop-up book here) would be absolutely fabulous!! |
