The Bookish Christmas Pile

Last week, I shared my bookish wishlist for the holidays.  Today, I share with you what I actually received, and I am happy to report that a few of those wishes came true!!  I will leave you with a little picture featuring not only my bookish Christmas pile, but also my kids' as well.  We had a wonderful bookish Christmas and we can't wait to dive into our treasures!  (I may even have to dive into my son's pile as well!)

Did you receive some wonderful bookish treasures for the holidays?  If not, do you intend to gift yourself any this week?

  3. I had a couple of the grey covers from Persephone (http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/) from my book friends as well as a couple of books by Debbie Macomber (our guilty secret!)

    I have a wishlist that my friends and family can choose from, or they can simply cheat and give me book vouchers!

    1. nordie ... Those covers are simple, yet elegant! I like!! I love that my husband finally figured out that a stack of books would please me more than anything else. I give him a long list and he chooses for me!!

  9. I neither asked for nor received any books for Christmas. My family is afraid to buy them for me :-). Guess I'll have to do my own book shopping! Glad to see your family had such a lovely bookish holiday.

    1. Florinda Pendley Vasquez ... I've been bugging my husband for a VERY long time about bookish gifts. I have to provide him with a pretty long list to choose from, but he thinks it is now easier for him to shop! :)
