  4. Thanks for the listings. I want almost every item shown (of course I don’t need them just want them). Ah well, guess that’s what the purpose of the wish list.

  7. I want all of these! But especially the Austen and the Patronus shirts. I would love to have the Kate Spade book clutches, I think I posted about those before as well, but they’re just so expensive! So many girls here in Singapore have designer bags but I haven’t seen those clutches yet. And I ordered a Roald Dahl stamp (Matilda) that Leila of Bookshelves of Doom converted to a pendant. I hope it gets here soon!

    • I like the Austen shirt too. And the Hyperbole one! Yeah, the Kate Spade clutches were posted here last year too. I just couldn’t resist adding them. They are so beautiful. Wish they weren’t so expensive. Sigh.

      Oh, wow you ordered a Roald Dahl stamp pendant? Sounds very cool.

      • Sigh, I would buy those Kate Spade clutches if they weren’t so expensive. I’d rather buy books. Yep, I ordered a Matilda and a LOTR map pendant. They’re bigger than I expected.

  9. I love this bookish gift posts, Janice! Keep them comingl As for me, I’m dying to give one of the Harry Potter fan girls the glasses ring. I want the square book ring, and Kate Spade clutch. Both are two pricey to even go on the Christmas list I think!

    • I’m seriously considering doing genre versions of this post. Hmm. It may happen. Yeah, I have similar feelings about those things. The clutch is especially too much money to spend on a bag. I think the ring is more reasonable since it is handmade and silver.. and I have seen stuff like that go for more, but the clutch price kills me since.. how often would I use it to justify that pricetag.. but it’s SO gorgeous.

    • *nod*. Sigh, those Olympia Le-Tan clutches are SO expensive. I think there is no choice but to make your own version there, unless you are a millionaire. But I had to include them for their prettiness. *pets an imaginary bag*. Thank goodness the Sterling classics are a reasonable price! Is there such a thing as too many copies of Jane Austen? Nah.
