Between presents and book sales, this is the time of year where I greatly augument my shelves. (The rest of the year my buying is a touch slower.)
For Christmas I received TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD by J.K. Rowling. So far I have bought myself (I'll update this list as I buy more):

TANGLED WEBS by Anne Bishop
CATCH-22 by Joseph Heller
I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE by Stephanie Kuehnert
CONFESSIONS OF A TRIPLE SHOT BETTY by Jody Gehrman
ARTEMIS FOWL: THE TIME PARADOX by Eoin Colfer
BLOWING MY COVER: MY LIFE AS A CIA SPY by Lindsay Moran
HAPPY HOUR AT CASA DRACULA by Marta Acosta
GIRL SLEUTH: NANCY DREW AND THE WOMEN WHO CREATED HER by Melanie Rehak
THE SOCIETY OF S by Susan Hubbard
In addition, you can still help others receive books this holiday season.
The Book Blog a Holiday campaign hosted by the Bookwish Foundation raises funds to buy books for Darfur refugees. They seek a dollar donation per book received as a gift. More can be found here.
Chelsea (The Page Flipper) and Lauren (of Shooting Stars Magazine) have moved their Leave a Mark auctions to a separate blog. (Link corrected - thanks Chelsea!)
One of my favorite charities is Inside Books, previously blogged about here. I've met the people running this and know they're on the up-and-up and sincerely want to help.
So tell me what books you've received (or bought)!
OMG you got some great books! I really really really want to read I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE by Stephanie Kuehnert and CONFESSIONS OF A TRIPLE SHOT BETTY by Jody Gehrman. I can't wait to see how you like them because I heard great things about these two books.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the great links.
Oh a book I brought yesterday is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, with a pretty cover.
I've had I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE by Stephanie Kuehnert on my list for a while. Sounds like you had a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteThey had a second copy of I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE on sale and I considered buying it to give away. Maybe I really should.
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much for the mention! But the link's leaveamarkauctions.blogspot.com! You left out the auctions part. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you got some great books. I really want Tales of Beedle the Bard!
Put IWBYJR on the top of your TBR pile! It's fantastic.
