Shocking true story! I am giving books for Christmas with some Fight the Stupids gear thrown in for good measure:
1. Fight the Stupids T-shirts: The people to whom I am giving these will think I am making a political statement of some form, but just fight the stupids by reading a book, man.
2. The Hunger Games Trilogy: While this is for my little cousins, I suspect their mother might also enjoy the books.
3. Sugar Baby: Everyone should have more than her fair sure of holiday sugar.
4. Obituary Cocktail: This should add a certain something to a cousin’s in-house bar.
5. Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World: Actually, I might be making a political statement with this one.
6. Into the Beautiful North: If you’ve read Urrea’s work, you know why I was giving this as a gift.
7. Love at First Bark: It’s not just because Julie mentions me in the acknowledgements.
8. Brennan’s New Orleans Cookbook: I haven’t even had “breakfast at Brennan’s,” yet.
9. River Road Recipes: I thought the title was Rocky Road Recipes, but this is good, too.
10. Meet Marie-Grace: We have several signed books in the Marie-Grace and Cecile lines for our niece. Miss Cindy hosted a tea party with the authors in November.
11. The Empire of Death: Something for everyone . . . truly.
And, I’m not even finished!
