meme: where your treasure is...
I think you can learn a bit about someone by how they spend their money (when they have a choice). So if you can remember, please tell me the last 3-11 items you purchased for yourself, and please comment with links to your wishlists if you have them online anywhere (in your LJ, amazon, etc). ;-)My last 11:
Sexual (Dis)Orientation: Gender, Sex, Desire and Self-Fashioning by Tamsin Wilton (from amazon, per ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
queerbychoice's recommendation) Coming From The Light by Sarah Hinze (from amazon)
The World Is Bound By Secret Knots by Noe Venable (from amazon) Invisible Ones by Orenda Fink (from amazon) Ramses: The Battle of Kadesh - Vol III by Christian Jacq Ramses: The Lady of Abu Simbel - Vol IV by Christian Jacq Ramses: Under the Western Acacia - Vol V by Christian Jacq^^^ I found ALL THREE of those at the SAME used book store! I got an urge to call the used book store which is farthest away from me, which I very very rarely go to (maybe once a year) and hardly ever think of. I followed the urge without thinking about it, and when she answered I randomly asked if they had any Christian Jacq books (note that they are VERY hard to find -- I've seen the 1st and 2nd in the series but NEVER #3-5), and they had FOUR (including one I already had) of his books. (I went and picked them up the same day, of course) That's pretty much a freaking miracle! they were also very cheap when I traded in some other books. I am confident that God/dess has something important for me to learn from them, and I'm pretty excited about it :D
