Cigars and Wishlists Back to Blog
Hi, everyone! Today, I’m guest blogging over at Love is an Exploding Cigar (don’t you love that name?), and I’m giving away an autographed copy of MIDNIGHT SINS to one commenter. If you get a chance, come on by for your chance to win! My topic…pleasures. Yep–that’s all the info you get. You’ll have to check out the post for more details!
And now…for fun, let’s talk wishlists. In the past, I’ve driven my husband crazy during the holidays because I haven’t told him what I want for Christmas. Yes, I am one of those tricky women–I think the guy should just know and then I get grumpy when his “knowing” doesn’t translate into the gift I want. But I am trying to be better this year. Really. 🙂
So, I’ve given a lot of thought to my wishlist and I figured, hey, why not post? I’ll post mine, you can post yours–and we’ll just see what all we want from Santa. Not that Santa will necessarily bring all of these goodies, but…
Here’s my list anyway:
(Oh, and a quick note. I do, of course, want world peace and happiness for everyone–just like Steve Martin said in his holiday skit, but this list, it’s gonna be all greedy me…)
1. Bookstore gift card. This one is obvious. And I do beg the hubby every year to tell him mother to get me this. There are SO many great books coming out at the end of the year/early new year. Christine Feehan has a new one, Jayne Ann Krentz does, Kresley Cole does. Help a reading addict out–give me a gift card, Santa!
2. Books. A walk down the Barnes & Noble bargain books aisle recently revealed a good dozen paranormal research books I’d love to have. Or, hey, just stroll down the romance aisle. Not like you could go wrong with those.
3. An Alpha Smart. Yeah, I said it. I want an Alpha. I have this idea that I can squeeze more writing time out of my day. If I take that Alpha with me, suddenly my empty moments will be filled. Portable, a fantastic battery life–come on, I could use this, Santa!!!
4. Supernatural, Seasons 1-3. Because, um, I missed these seasons, even though I love the paranormal. I was so late to this boat and I wanna catch up on what I missed!
That’s my list. Now tell me yours!
Update: Just had to post this YouTube clip/soundtrack of Steve Martin. I really love this bit!
Hi Cynthia:
I’ve asked for bookstore gift cards as well. There is this Cynthia Eden book, I really, really want that is being published in April 2009. 🙂
Regards
Love that Steve Martin video. 🙂
I didn’t know JAK had a new one out. I’ll check that out. Bookstore gift cards are the best!
Hi Cynthia~
I, also, would love a bookstore gift certificate and fortunately I know that I am getting at least one. I have finally convinced my children the pure pleasure that I receive from getting gifts like this.
I want seasons 1-3 of Supernatural, also. Ok, I know that I am getting 1 and 2 because I bought them for myself and will wrap them up and put them under the tree, but I have not been able to convince myself to get season 3…I found seasons 1 and 2 at Wal-Mart for $15 each. I cannot believe that I have not been watching this show either, I have this season and I am loving it!!
Those are really the only things that I want for Christmas and of course to spend time with the family.
Bookstore giftcards, Panera giftcards, time alone with my s.o. 😀 I don’t ask for complicated stuff, see?
I’d like a white Christmas!
I’m giving Midnight Sins at a party tonight…we’re playing dirty Santa. I’m sure it’ll be the gift everyone fights over!
A Bookstore giftcard, of course. *G* And hubs is usually good at getting me that. *G* Books, I keep a wish list on my computer that is available to hubs. *G* SEE’s Bordeoux bars, I ADORE those. *G* Um, Season 2 of Eureka or Season 3 of Bones. *G* That’s about it, I’m pretty easy to please. *G*
True Blood and Moonlight on DVD and some more books on book marketing
Lea…I’m hoping to give away some ARCs of that one soon–stay tuned!!
Edie–she does!! I think it is due out Dec. 30 and it’s called Running Hot.
Lori, I saw those same two at Wal-Mart last night! My husband almost bought them, but I asked him to wait until I wasn’t there. Lame, I know, but I was with him when he bought my other present and I wanted to at least pretend to be surprised. 🙂 I am loving this season, too–and that reminds me, I need to check to see if Supernatural will be on tonight!
Hey, azteclady! Simple gifts=simple pleasures. Give me my gift cards and my book and some time with my family—and I’m a happy gal.
Ashley, I saw snow flurries today! Does that count enough for a white Christmas? Have fun at your party!
Hi, Brandy! Bones!! Ack–I forgot about that. That show is a new addiction for me. And you sound like a lady who is easy to please–I hope the hubby gets those gifts for you!
Hi, Zoe! Wow–is Moonlight already available on DVD? I might get that for Nick. I sure hated to hear of that show’s cancelation.
I hope you all get everything you want for Christmas!!!
Hi Cynthia. I want books for Christmas – or money and or gift cards to get books for Christmas.
I also happen to want a certain book of yours that is coming out in April. I don’t want to wait, I want it now 🙂
Hey it’s not available til January but you can pre-order it. I’m getting Amazon gift cards for Christmas haha. So I’m going to order then.
I’ve never seen it. A friend told me about it today and I saw some youtube fanvids, now I”m all over it.
I haven’t really thought much of a list, but I know that books and bookstore giftcards are the general fall back gift for me from anyone in my family. They know it so, I don’t really think of anything else unless they specifically ask. If they do, I generally come up with either specific books, or CD’s I want.
Loved your list! LOL. We do one gift exchange here among us now for the last couple of years. I always ask for the GC to Borders but never get them, LOL. Having that supernatural just might be the thing you need! Really other than the GC (and books)LOL, bookshelf! I bug my hubby about building me one! I don’t want kitchen appliances or sweaters, LOL.
