Exhibits Hall to a medievalist is a lot like a candy shop to a chocoholic.

Now I gots:

Bremmer, Jan N. and Jan R. Veenstra, eds. The Metamorphosis of Magic

Broedel, Hans Peter. The Malleus Maleficarum and the Construction of Witchcraft

Elliott, Dyan. Fallen Bodies

Edwards, Kathryn A. Werewolves, Witches and Wandering Spirits

Green, Monica, trans. & ed. The Trotula

Griffiths, Bill. Aspects of Anglo-Saxon Magic
Maxwell-Stuart, P.G. Witchcraft

Rose, Elliot. A Razor for a Goat

Toth, Emily. Ms. Mentor’s Impeccable Advice for Women in Academia

And ordered three more on the spot to get the free shipping – hopefully will get them shortly and will report back on them later.

[I’ve run out of shelf space, and floor space to bring one of the bookshelves up from the basement. Erg.]

Plus I bought a book (one of the castle stories) to donate to Emma’s classroom from Usborne, and the bound collection of castle stories for home for the kids. I need to get a card for Em’s teacher to go with the amberlicious gift I’ve gotten, and I don’t know if I also want to get her a GC at the Teacher’s Center or something – she’s really gone all out and has likely gained a sizeable amount of gray from the experience. I’d nominate her for sainthood if I could. I also need to figure out if I should (and what to get) get something for the teacher down the hall Em’s been spending some afternoons with for reading help and her teacher consultant, since they’ve only been on the scene for the last few months, or will a card do.

Dunno.
