I wanted to do something a little different for this list. So these are the books I bought this year, but haven't read yet, based on the awesome recommendations from this sub. I love this community, but you all aren't easy on the ol' pocketbook.
What have you ordered this year, but haven't gotten around to yet?
On mobile, so hopefully the formatting isn't weird.

Happy New Year you glorious bastards!
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
Avocet The Pied Avocet was sometimes pictured in ancient Egyptian paintings and reliefs of wildlife along the Nile and in the marshes. It was also shown in fowling scenes, and avocet was a favorite dish.
Bittern The Little Bittern and the Great Bittern were sometimes pictured in ancient Egyptian paintings and reliefs of wildlife along the Nile and in the marshes. Like herons, tame bitterns were occasionally used as decoys by fowlers hunting wildfowl.
Cormorant The ancient Egyptians were familiar with three types of cormorant - the Reed Cormorant, the Great Cormorant, and the Common Cormorant. These birds were regularly pictured in swamp scenes, roosting in the thick vegetation with other waterfowl or swallowing fish whole (a common behavior of cormorants.)
Darter An African Darter is pictured in Tuthmosis III's botanical garden carvings on the walls of his festival hall. Although the darter has never been documented in present-day Egypt, R.E. Moreau has stated that it is virtually certain that the bird lived in the country in the not-too-distant past. Recently, bone remains of the darter have been identified from the dynastic levels at Elephantine, showing that the bird did indeed exist in ancient Egypt, although it must have been rare enough for the pharaoh to display in his collection of exotics.
Egret (Nwr) The Little Egret, Cattle Egret, and the Great Egret were often pictured in ancient Egyptian paintings and reliefs of wildlife along the Nile and in the marshes. Like herons, tame egrets were occasionally used as decoys by fowlers hunting wildfowl.
Flamingo (Dsr - "Reddish") The Greater Flamingo was hunted and eaten in ancient Egypt, and was still a popular dish during the Roman Period. During the New Kingdom, representations of flamingos were common in paintings and reliefs of wildlife scenes.
Gallinule The Purple Gallinule was sometimes pictured in ancient Egyptian paintings and reliefs of wildlife along the Nile and in the marshes, and the bird was a favorite dish.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
