My dear friend [livejournal.com profile] philippas, who actually introduced me to the Queen's Thief series, sent me a present in the mail:

DSCN8843

I've fallen in love with bags before (also shoes), but I don't know that I've ever squeed quite like I did when I opened this package, and then I smiled like a goofy teenager in love for the rest of the day. I'm still doing that, truth be told. I wish I could take a better picture of the Gift (it actually has some contouring that makes it look exactly like it does on the cover), but here's a close up:

I'm considering copying this design for a t-shirt. Or perhaps a tattoo for my forehead, who knows? Before I get carried away, though, I mustn't forget the little tag sewn inside:

Thief fans are so creative and clever, aren't they? Don't forget to check out [livejournal.com profile] philippas other creation, an amazing fanfic that can be read here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5171756/1/The_Kings_Wedding_Night

I do not appear to have an icon that sufficiently combines *DROPPED JAW* with *SQUEE*

Wow who wouldn't want a bag like that. I don't think the Magus would make me one, so I will satisfy myself with pretty pictures *stares at the pictures loong and hard*

I think those pictures pretty well. You can actually see the symbols on the Gift. D'you know, that's the first time in my life that I've ever ironed a tote.

i really like the writing. Cool bag. Will you actually be using it, or just proudly displaying it at home?

Very, very cool! *stores idea away for future reference*

Is there a convenient pocket on the inside to make said book a permanent resident?

That is awesome! Really, truly, fantastic.

What fun you'll have recognizing other fans when they squee too!

What you could do is get some mock-ups of the cover - like they have in the pharmacy aisle at the grocery for drugs that contain whatever it is the meth makers use - with a note that says, "Please take to bookstore cashier."

Wow, I just compared The Thief to illegal drugs. I suppose it is dangerously addictive ...

more reasons to buy another set and put in the bag to always conveniently whip out at any moment, any time, any day; at work, at mall, everywhere - I really like your idea! Then after wards u have a waiting list to loan out your two copies

OMG that is AMAZING! You are sooo lucky and I am sooo jealous!


(Fellow fans: are we SURE this is thief-proof??)

From: [identity profile] tencups-i-swear.livejournal.com
that is made of complete and absolute SQUEEness!
You are amazingly lucky.

This is awesome. It would be a tie between that and my Bodleian Library bag.

FOR THE WIN

...I wouldn't trust the Magus to make anything thief-proof, honestly.
