An absolute sweetheart gave me an Amazon gift certificate recently and I joyfully spent it on a bunch of books that I’ve wanted forever. They arrived by Canada Post on Sunday (! I didn’t know they delivered on Sundays… this is Canada! I’m thinking it may just be an Amazon thing) and I was so excited to tear open the box and smell the pristine book smell and start leafing through them.

I got:
Godspeed by Lynn Breedlove
Valencia by Michelle Tea
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Catherine A. Liszt - required reading for anyone interested in a polyamorous and/or nonmonogamous lifestyle
The Whole Lesbian Sex Book by Felice Newman - the definitive guide to doing it with women

Is anyone noticing a theme? I am… I also tried to order Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World but it was postponed until July (out of stock I guess?) so I canceled it. Now I’m trying to decide whether I want Middlesex or Stone Butch Blues instead.

I’ve put up some of the photos from last week’s bike photoshoot with Keri. I really, really, really need a zoom lens, and things like this just reinforce it. I can’t take the pictures I want to take. I can’t afford a new lens right now and it’s extremely frustrating for me.
