Nothing can make me feel better like $200 worth of Amazon bits and bobbles.
I have in a neat cardboard box under my desk:
Sorcery and Cecelia, or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot, by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer (THE Letters Game novel. Still makes me want to do one. Tried once, didn't quite work out. *sighs*)
Club Dead, by Charlaine Harris (third in her Southern Vampire mystery series. Think Anita Blake without as much sex. Okay, very little sex. And a telepathic heroine)
A Storm of Swords, by George R.R. Martin. This is for Lou, who is reading these. I will read them myself when they're all out. They're just my kind of thing, but I have too much reading to handle now to start another large series.
Tithe: A Modern Fairy Tale, by Holly Black. Will probably give it to Lou first to read, since he can probably read it in an afternoon. Then I'll dive into it myself. When I'm done with Someplace to be Flying.
The Field Guide (Spiderwick Chronicles #1), by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi. Will probably pour over this tonight!
Long Hot Summoning, by Tanya Huff. Also, probably throw this at Lou first. Maybe I can get to it by the weekend, maybe next week. Should be a light, quick read.
The Ultimate Toy Box: 3 Disc Collector's Set of Toy Story 1, 2, and a supplemental disc DVDs. Maybe tomorrow night, we'll take this for a spin. If not, at least I can say I got it before Disney pulled it! Anne recommended this over the set with just the two DVDs of the movies. Am glad I listened to her.
Angel - Season 1 DVDs. Doyle, how we miss ye. But Rogue Demon Hunter Wesley! w00t!
Buffy - Season 3 DVDs. The Wish. Dopplegangland. The Zeppo. Earshot. *rubs hands gleefully together*
and of course, finally...
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Widescreen Edition) DVD. Yes. Am bad fan. Had not bought this yet! But tonight, it goes in the DVD player, if only to watch the deleted scenes!
NP: Homer's Barbershop Quartet (Medley) from the album "Songs In The Key Of Springfield" by The Simpsons

I particularly enjoyed Sorcery and Cecilia.
But my experience is also that letter games are very hard, so I'm not surprised at your results.

Holly Black, the author of Tithe, is a friend - both via TonyD, and via Jenni.
She's working with TonyD on the Spiderwick Chronicles. She has a Livejournal blog: http://blackholly.livejournal.com (blame me for giving her an LJ invite code).
And she's got a spiff iBook that she bought after she and hubby Theo visited Jenni and I here in Seattle last November. Another convert!

Actually, I knew that about Holly. :) We've made arrangements to meet up at GenCon when she's at Tony's booth!
