will work for books

providing of course, that I don't have to pay for food, clothes, housing, internet, tuition, you know...

Yesterday I went to a poetry reading, and afterward I decided that I wanted to buy a book from the poet.
It was 28 dollars.
"Oh," I complained, "I wish that I had endless money to spend only on books of poetry!"
"Don't we all?" said my friend Niki.

Then today I wandered through the BYU book sale, and read through a dozen beautifully illustrated children's books.
"Oh," I said to myself, "all I want are hundreds of these lovely books for my children to read, and hold (and likely scribble and chew on)"

I continued walking through the sale and found a heavy book filled with mouth-watering photographs of chocolate.
"Oh," I may have actually said aloud, to myself, "I wish I had a million dollars to spend on cookbooks, and then ingredients, and cook tasty things for my family."

So. I need several million dollars to spend on books.
and bookcases.
and food.

Here are the three books that I've recently added to my I wish booklist:

So if you're thinking to yourself "I don't want to buy Becky and Travis bathtowels or kitchen knives for their wedding," then please feel free to buy us cookbooks (Julia Childs, Martha Stewart and themed cookbooks are my favorite. Theme examples: cupcakes, chocolate, or pies), or children's books, they're almost as pricey as cookbooks! ooor buy a beautiful book of your favorite poetry.

Love, love, love! books.
