I was born in... (cute internet games)

The new year will be a good time to come over and play with your errand to run to the store.

(I hope V-man likes his new djembe.)

[Primula Baggins]

The new year will be a good time to be able to come to the new house and will be able to come to the new house.

TIME LOOP!!!!!

[Inanna]

The new year will bring home the same time for you and your family to be there for a good time

Another silly internet game from @CFiesler

Let's play a game. Go to Amazon, to "Your Orders," and with the year drop-down, find the earliest year listed... and then RT and tell us what the FIRST thing you ever bought on Amazon was. Bonus points for it being nearly 20 years ago. #BabysFirstAmazon

Mine was Serenity and Firefly DVDs in 2006

"Losing Faith in Faith," 1999. Where do I claim my bonus points?

[Eldy]

My first order was the hardcover editions of volumes X-XII of The History of Middle-earth in early 2008. Apparently I paid for it with a gift card which I assume was a Christmas present from one of my aunts or uncles who had given up on trying to find non-book gifts (I'm sure I wasn't an easy kid to shop for ).

Maybe you should change the name of this thread to something like "Silly internet games."

My first order was on June 8, 2002, and it was two CD's by Famoudou Konate, one the greatest djembefolas of all time, and a close friend of my teacher, Mamady Keita.

V, as you wish.

Mine was in May 29, 1999 and consisted of several non-fiction books like:

Edible Wild Plants : A North American Field Guide

Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (And Not So Wild Places)

The Quest for Wild Jelly

Better Homes and Garden Presents : America's All Time Favorite Canning & Preserving Recipes

How to Dry Foods

I still have them all, of course.

Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers

The geekitude is strong with this one. . . .

[Impenitent]

My first Amazon order was April 2010, of a Kindle and a protective cover.

Following that, 99% of my orders have been digital (imagine that!).

The only physical orders since that time:

Three further Kindles and protective covers (in 2012 and 2014)

Maths instruments cuff links (tiny little protractors), and physics equations silk tie. (2015)

Windhome (2017)

I'm not a prolific Amazon buyer - where I can, I prefer to support local.

Here's another.

Pick up the book nearest to you.

Add 'Harry Potter and' as a prefix to the title of the book.

Mine is Harry Potter and the Talking God, which sounds legit.

[Primula Baggins]

Harry Potter and the American Medical Association Manual of Style.

[Inanna]

Harry Potter and Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell

Sounds like a fanfic

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Inanna, are you reading Jonathan Strange? Do you like it?

It’s one of my favorite books, V. I re-read it every 2 years or so. . I know that you like it a lot too.
