Hearts in Suspension-- early gift so I could enjoy the read.
A stuffed Pooh bear and Doctor Who Adult coloring book.

I put off buying it so I could put it on my list for someone to get for me and I didn't get one. I think it was a little difficult to find if your not a fan and know where to look.

My sister gave me a year subscription to kindle unlimited. There is a large selection of books (including audio versions) and magazines to chose from that I can read for free during the subscription. It's kind of like a library system where I can have up to 10 items at a time and when I'm done with something, I return it.

What an awesome idea. Is there a wait list for popular books like at the library?

I got a dartboard. Apparently, my father wishes me to pick up a hobby that involves throwing sharp objects. I'm really good at that, it seems. :biggrin2:

I also got the remastered Phantasm on blu-ray, a Pink Floyd shirt (I think I have more Pink Floyd and AC/DC shirts than any human being ought to have, but I'm not complaining) a blu-ray of Pet Sematary, and two five dollar gift cards for Hooters.

Not bad, considering.

No, there is no wait. The selection is kind of hit or miss. A certain author may only have one or two titles that are included but there is such a large selection, that I can easily work around that and find plenty that I want to read. I just got this so I don't know a great deal yet but I like it.

I love playing darts. I used to hang out at a bar that had dart boards instead of pool tables. I played quite a bit. There's a lot less fighting in a dart board bar than a pool table bar. ;-D (Good thing since there are plenty of sharp objects around).

I think I am a better dart player than a pool player anyway. There is a bar I know that has a dart board so I need to go back there once I get better at it.

Yep, Becky tried to get it for me and could not find it....got a gift certificate from Cole's bookstore, instead.
