Books for Christmas!

As is our tradition, many of the gifts we exchanged yesterday were BOOKS! My husband, our older son, and I are all avid readers and love to give and receive books. I am exhausted today and ready to spend the next week on the couch reading my new books!

These are the books I got from my husband, son, and mom:






One of these will be my First Book of the Year!


And my husband received these books from my son and I:



And we gave these books to our son - all his favorite kind of fantasy novels. Two are continuations of series he loves, and the Terry Brooks is a new series for him to try:



Hope you are also enjoying a bookish holiday season!

  1. I always hope people won't give me books, just book recommendations. I don't like the pressure of getting books and then not reading them. Ha! I hope you like OVERSTORY. It is such a big story.

    1. ha ha I get that, Anne - my family knows these might sit on my shelves for a while (or a year or two!) but that i will get to them eventually :) This past month, I have been working on LAST Christmas' gifts! Glad to hear Overstory is good - I've been hearing great things about it!

  3. How wonderful, in keeping with tradition I got not a single book :( I did give my son and daughter a book each though.
    Enjoy your new reads!

    1. Good for you for giving books! I go into our tiny local bookstore each December with a long list of books for them to order for me as gifts to give :)
