Books We Gave and Got for Christmas!

I hope you're enjoying the holiday season with your family! I just popped in to share our Christmas Book Hauls. We're a reading family, and these are the books we gave to each other and received as gifts this Christmas. If you want to hear more about these books and why they were chosen, I recorded a Christmas Book Haul video that I will post to my YouTube channel in the next few days. 

We gave these books to our son, 30. A slightly unusual mix for him this year that includes two nonfiction titles (he's a big fantasy reader) that were chosen for specific reasons. He's excited to read all of them: 

Plus, I ordered these custom Where's Waldo type books for my sons and their girlfriends! They loved those books as kids and were thrilled with the custom versions.

I gave these books to my husband. As luck would have it, many of them are by favorite authors of both of us, so I am looking forward to reading many of these after he does!

I picked out these two novels for my mom:

• Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy (a top pick from Booktopia this year that she missed)
• The Rent Collector by Camron Wright (got one of my book group's highest ratings)

 

And here is my stack from my husband. LOTS of great novels that I can't wait to dive into, plus a surprise pick that will help us plan our longer road trips for the coming year!

Did you give or receive any books this holiday season?
