About meHiya! I'm Anastasia, and I love books. I loved books so much that I majored in English in college! And now I'm wondering how to turn my love of books into a paying gig.

I've got a book blog, which is linked to below.

I am not affiliated with the South Carolina bookstore. *cough* (Though it does look like a fabulous place!)

About my libraryMy favorite genre is fantasy, and I especially love well-written children's/YA fantasy books. I tend to keep and/or look for books I had when I was younger because I am frequently overcome with the urge to reread books years later, even when I thought I wouldn't back when I first read whatever the book was. This is a problem when the book is out of print.

My LT library consists of books I actually own, but I also keep track of the ones I once had (and read) but no longer do. I'm also thinking about adding in my ebooks, but that's such a large job I can't really work up the energy to do it.

Hi Santa Anastasia,

I'm glad you enjoyed my choices - it's the first time I've participated in SantaThing, and I really enjoyed choosing books for people, as well as the ones I received. I read and enjoyed "People of the Book", but the Shackleton book was a bit of a guess, except that I went to school with someone who was a nephew or grand-nephew (if I recall correctly) of Shackleton, and I always thought that pretty cool. "Shackleton's Argonauts" were a thing of legend downunder. -- Rod

I hope you enjoy the book. I haven't read it, but it was picked by NPR as one of the top books of the year.

Hey Santa,
So sorry it took so long for me to express my thanks for your thoughtful selections! Lost the piece of paper with your explanation of your choices -- thanks for that for a couple of reasons: it was lovely to know for one, and i didn't realize i could do that so i left a msg for my recip explaining the books I chose. It was a challenge doing that without giving away the titles! LOL

then I couldn't get into my santathing to find your name. when i got the reply on how to look you up turned out there was a problem with my link as I'd been doing exactly as instructed all along. And, just now, I received the email with your link. So thanks again.

I read Cooper's book right away and my nephew did too before I left tx to come home. I do appreciate too the start on my Prydain cycle. Can't believe you managed to get 3 books under cost! Two was a challenge for me :)

So thanks again! Hope your holidays were super and 2009 is even better. --Susan
