I am SO SO SO thankful for the gifts I received for Christmas, especially the books that I received

Now I’m on a combined book buying and library ban. We’ll see how long that lasts, especially with the library because I love my random art and foliage books. But I’m doing this little personal ban because I’d like to get through some of the books on my shelves for the first few months of 2023.

• So Many Books by Gabriel Zaid
• Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
• An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West by Konstantin Kisin
• Hidden History of New Hampshire by D. Quincy Whitney
• On Writing by Stephen King
• Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
• Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons
• The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

I want to read all of these right away, and all of the books I STILL have yet to pick up that I received last year. So we’ll see what I decide to pick up first from this little gift haul. And there are also 3 other books that I’ve started recently that I should probably finish before getting into all of these amazing Christmas presents.

Read on and when family members insist on buying you something for a holiday or a birthday, ask for those books that you really want. You just may get them.
