My fiance got me some neat gifts for our 5th year anniversary. I've always been a kind of person that doesn't want to have to tell you what to buy me. I only want you to get me something if it's genuine and from the heart.
She found a cool second-edition set of the Hobbit and LOTR books published by Ballantine Books.

She also found this cool German-English / English-German Dictionary published in 1932. My family is originally from Germany, I've always been intrigued with genealogy and my family's German roots. She thought I'd like this and maybe jump-start my desire to teach myself German.

I've been trying to learn German, but it's hard without others to speak back and forth to in it. That's some great stuff though, have fun tracing your roots!

That's pretty cool. That's the Tolkein set I grew up reading. Didn't know it was a 2nd edition.
