![]() ![]() This was the year I ordered all of Dee Henderson’s O’Malley series, a lot more Tracie Peterson books, and started venturing out into non-book/music items, like a car charger for my cell phone and a fondue pot for my sister for Christmas. Orders of note: some classic children’s storybooks ( The Story of Ferdinand and Corduroy) as gifts for my niece Encyclopedia Brown books for my sister’s birthday some Lori Copeland, Stephanie Grace Whitson, and Tracie Peterson books for me and several Southern Gospel CDs for my mom.Ģ001 # of items: at least 47 (4 orders wouldn’t load correctly) Reviewing my purchase history over the next several years, it was great insight not only into my own reading and music preferences, but a great way of tracking the ages of my niece (born in 1995) and nephews (born in 1999, 2002, 2003) by the gifts I purchased for them for birthdays and Christmases. ![]() That was also the first year that I used Amazon for Christmas-gift shopping. A month later, I’d pick up the first three books in the X-Wing series (more Star Wars) and then, in the fall, a couple of books by Ann Radcliffe for my Enlightenment Literature course my first semester back in college. Two vintage books that completed a series I’d picked up in my ’tween years (and those were vintage even then), and two Star Wars Extended Universe books. ![]() And it wasn’t until it had been around several years that I was brave enough to try it. (And I know this is probably of no interest to anyone but me, but it was very interesting to go back and be able to pinpoint what I’d been doing in my life in each of these sixteen years, just by seeing what I’d purchased on Amazon.)Įven though Amazon opened up (virtual)shop in 1995, I didn’t hear about it for several years. And that’s where my sixteen-year-long relationship with Amazon comes in. Things changed rapidly over the next few years, and by the end of the 20th century, I had Bellsouth’s super-fast dial-up and was rockin’ and rollin’ in the new internet age. In April 1996, when I struck out on my own and moved to Nashville, I “upgraded” from AOL to a local (?) ISP using Eudora Mail and Netscape (anyone here old enough to remember those?). When I was 24, I was still living with my parents in the Washington DC area and had had AOL, and an email address and what limited internet access there was in 1995, for less than a year. That’s why, when I started receiving notifications of specials “just for Prime users!” surrounding Amazon’s 20th anniversary (yesterday was their official birthday), it freaked me out a little bit that they’d actually been around since I was 24 years old.
