What Books Did You Get For Christmas....
I got a strange one from my daughter--a Monk (TV show about an autistic private eye) spin off novel. I haven't watched the show for ages! My husband's was more on target: Bill Bryson's newest At Home. Of course he is anxious to read it, as well. I'll continue the tradition of giving books I want to read, by giving him Mark Twain's Autobiography for his birthday on Monday!

What a great present, Tanzanite! A very thoughtful one, I think.
I didn't get any actual books for Christmas but I did get a kindle with a lovely bright pink cover, which was a lovely surprise.
