I got a few new books: Little Fires Everywhere, The Hate You Give, classic edition of Beauty and The Beast and Little Women, and Jake Tapper’s novel (I cant remember the name of the book right now)
Amazon gift cards. I will go shopping when the ruckus dies down. Family generally won’t buy books because they say I have too many. Probably right. Did contribute a bunch to a school; now down to 652 not counting kindle.
I got a gift card from Barnes & Nobles (Love the bookstore!) And I got the collected non-fiction of Joan Didion. First time I ever read something from her. I just finished two of her short essays: “On Writing Notebooks” and “On Self Respect.” I was missing out. Brilliant writer!
also got Becoming and started reading it last nnight, shes a warm interesting writer.also Ruth Gader Ginzberg and sf book by Urlsula le Guin. and Oh yes, A kindle.wonderful
I can’t remember a Christmas when I did not get books! This year I got The Idiot by Dostoevsky and The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton. I also got two 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles (which I also love) called I love Books and The Curious Bookstore). And I got a coffee mug which says “I am a book dragon, not a worm.” And a 2019 Reading Challenge!
I was given the Michelle Obama book for Christmas as well. My hubby got the Jackie Chan autobiography and I gave him the Martin Luther King autobiography so I’m keen to read those too.
I finally gave in and bought a Nook Tablet with Christmas, mostly for the sake of my eyesight. Regular print is getting harder to read, and it is getting for my painful hands to hold a book. I am really excited about this. Plus I will be able to afford more books this way!

Pro-tip: in Goodreads, make you a shelf called “next to purchase”. They can peak in on that ?
