On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Right? I feel like everyone's written a book. I should get on that train.

Because books.

Jilli's! Argh. Added now, as well as Hayden's -- thanks, flea.

Yeah, Powell's doesn't seem to carry Sam the Bat, sadly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thank you for taking that on, Amy!

Because books.

It was fun! I wish Powell's actually carried all of our books, though -- the list would have been bigger by a few.

It's a shame they don't carry videos. I might try and make a case to get CFerg's stuff up on there. He could count, right?

Because books.

Absolutely. And Tim, too.

They don't carry videos? Wow. I'm not usually a Powell's customer, so I didn't even realize that.

You can make lists on Amazon, right? I wonder if there's a way to make a buffista list and then have it be accessible through our affiliate link.

I know we don't have a BN affiliation, but I'd be happy to copy the Powell's list over there too.
