Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 1020 comments So far I've gotten:
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness Untamed (Splintered, #3.5) by A.G. Howard Frozen Tides (Falling Kingdoms, #4) by Morgan Rhodes The Reluctant King (Star-Crossed, #5) by Rachel Higginson Wandering Star (Zodiac, #2) by Romina Russell The Wrath and the Dawn (The Wrath and the Dawn, #1) by Renee Ahdieh
AND the pretty Harry Potter boxed set, with the castle on the spine.
I also got three gift cards (B&N, Amazon, and my local used bookstore)

I say so far because I will be celebrating Christmas with more of my family tomorrow.

I admit that almost everything on my Christmas list was books.

message 50: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Wow!! You all got some awesome books, I hope you all enjoy them :D

I'm in the same boat with Trisha and Vicki, didn't get books on Christmas but that's mostly because there are just soo many books I want I never know which to ask for. I did get a gift card to B&N but that's even harder, I'm the worst type of person to buy books lol! I never know which one to buy!
