Steph, I bought Christmas cards last year from that same place - that's Wondermark, right? They're fantastic! They were a big hit among those who got it, and reinforced my reputation as a crazy lady amongst those who didn't. And so, they had the desired effect. 
My other favorite Christmas cards are almost gone now - the picture is of a little black cat sitting on the porch of a warm house with a closed door, gazing off across the snowy field. I'm not sure what the intent of the artist was, but it's so SAD. I love them.
	
 
		
		
And thanks for the more book recs! I'm getting excited about this. I may read them all myself before I give them to her.
	
 
		
		
I just finished book 6 of the Morganville series and the first book of the Vampire Academy series, and really enjoyed them. 
	
 
		
		
that's Wondermark, right?
Yep! A friend of mine sent me one of those cards a couple years ago.
On that note, here's one for the bee lovers.
	
 
		
		
 I still have that book!
I got rid of my copy years ago in a purge, but might order it again just to re-read.
	
 
		
		
That reminds me that I need to get a bibliophibian t-shirt after the holiday gift buying frenzy passes.
	
 
		
		
Oooh, Calli, that would be a great gift for my uncle's girlfriend.  Any links you'd recommend?
ETA: Is  this the one?
	
 
		
		
Oh, man.  The shelter that we adopted Taz and Marley from has a Facebook page, and I'm a fan- every time they post a new arrival at the shelter, it breaks my heart!  I just made a relatively significant contribution (for us, anyway) and now want to volunteer there!  I am totally bananas for this shelter, apparently.
