I didn&#39;t get any books, but I did get a $25 card to Barnes &amp; Noble. My mom knows I love books but she said I had enough- ha! But she still knows me well enough to let me pick out some books for myself anyway. :)<br /><br />I look forward to your thoughts on Burnt Shadows and Rooftops of Tehran and Normal People Don&#39;t Live Like This.Rebecca :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-4024240130164039572009-12-30T17:06:27.553-05:002009-12-30T17:06:27.553-05:00It sounds like you had a great Christmas! I love that you got so many books and I am hoping for the day when my extended family sees the light and orders nothing but books for me! I also think it&#39;s really cool that you got an e-reader. I hope you will post about your experiences with it! Also, I hope you have a very happy New Year!Zibileehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-12439654846204796742009-12-30T12:20:11.179-05:002009-12-30T12:20:11.179-05:00Kathleen --<br /><br />Re: Fiesta ware, according to The Elements, the radiation isn&#39;t really a big problem (since it&#39;s primarily of the mostly harmless &quot;alpha&quot; type, apparently). Scary, yes, but not a big deal. <br /><br />However, uranium oxide is toxic in its own right, and can apparently leach out of the glaze if the Fiesta ware is used with acidic foods.

Let us know what your thoughts are on the Sony e-reader. <br />I only got one unmentionable book (I had read it years ago), a bit of a dud that was disapointing from a holiday swap.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838832109510581167noreply@blogger.com
