Christmas Presents

Post by TracyThomas81 »

I am so excited, I asked for a TON of books for Christmas, from my husband. I'm looking forward to finding out which ones he bought me! Did anyone else ask for books?

Got 3 so far from a reading buddy: All The Light We Cannot See, The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair and Garrison Keillor's Pilgrims
My other half got me The Silver Linings Playbook, A Slanting of the Sun, Robert Harris's Dictator and The Little Red Chairs by the awesome Edna O'Brien ... he listens :shock: as suzy might say "who knew"?

That's January sorted and I'm hopeful for my usual supply of bookshop vouchers from family later in the day .... or there will be :angry-tappingfoot:

I only got educational books.. And by that I mean a self-training guide and a technical dictionary :cry:

I was pretty excited about them until I realized that I have nothing to read that won't fry my brain, LOL

Yes, I did! I asked for four books, and my wonderful family got all of them for me! Plus I got an iTunes gift card, which will mostly be used on the iBooks app! :)

How about asking Santa for office supplies? When you read and write, obviously you need paper, pens, post-it notes, flashdrives, etc. All of those supplies add up!
