So a few weeks ago I celebrated a b-day and got some fun writerly and readerly things from the fam.
The first was a Kindle! Yay! I've been wanting an e-reader for a while now.
Youngest sister, who's living in Chicago while she goes to college at Columbia, sent me an amazon gift card to use on Kindle accessories. I don't know about anyone else, but I love to buy accessories for things. I mean, getting something that lets you do more shopping? That's just awesome!
So I bought a kindle skin, to make it look pretty.
And then I bought a lighted leather cover.
Bro got me the last 3 of the rangers apprentice series, which is awesome because I love this series and am both excited to finish it, and sad it will be done.
Parents also sneakily got me an awesome necklace.
Sneakily because they had to get it at renfest. And the only time they were at renfest was with the rest of us. Twin explained that once last summer our mom had disappeared to get some cider. But when she came back she didn't have any. I must've been preoccupied about something because I didn't even question it, and normally that would've been something that got my suspicions up. Because I am a suspicious person by nature.

It's a talisman for poets and writers. The info says:
These symbols are said to create a powerful magic to help one find the right word at the most opportune moment.
On the backside of this talisman (top picture) is the "Seal of Eloquence" or the "Seal of Mercury". It contains the names of powerful angels, magical words, and Latin phrases, all of which help to greatly increase the power of the Talisman.
Concentrating on the endless knot work of the six-pointed star will intensify "natural inspiration" and assist in all of your writing endeavors... poems, plays and books, even your personal journal!
So there you have it! I got a few other present with Twin, but they aren't related to writing or reading.
So do you have an e-reader? Did you buy fun accessories for it?
