…please don’t be scared off or think me too greedy, but here is my wishlist. In an effort to be less naughty, I might have left out a few titles!

The Vatican to Vegas: The History of Special Effects (Norman M.Klein)
How the Girl Guides Won the War (Janie Hampton)
Living Dolls: The Return of Sexism (Natasha Walter)
Alien Constructions: Science Fiction and Feminist Thought (Patrizia Melzer)
In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination (Margaret Atwood)
Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Imagination (Armand Marie Leroi)
Typecasting: On the Arts and Sciences of Human Equality (Stuart Ewen and Elizabeth Ewen)
The Laboratory of the Mind: Thought Experiments in the Natural Sciences (James Robert Brown)
Human Voice: The Story of a Remarkable Talent (Anne Karpf)
VSI: Forensic Science (Jim Fraser)
The Windup Girl (Paolo Bacigalupi)
The Penguin Complete Novels of Nancy Mitford (Introd. India Knight)
Murder at Madingly Grange (Caroline Graham)
Putting together wishlists is almost as much fun as as giving and receiving books! I’m going to decorate cookies and bake some more Vanillekipferl and Zimtsterne now (I’m the designated baker in the family
). Wish you all a wonderful Christmas with lots of family, books and cookies!
