Okay, which book did you get for CHristmas that was on the top of your list? I didn't get any books but I got a gift card from my Dad for the bookstore I'm working at... and I've had my eyes on a few of them; including Memoirs of a Geisha
No new books for Christmas here boo hoo.I almost got a gift card to Borders but it got snatched away.I got a 25.00 Best Buy Giftcard instead which i bought movies with.Polar Express and Cry Wolf.
With my dh's family since it's huge we do grab bags.Well this year for the adults it was giftcards to wherever.We all pick a number then the first one picks a giftcard the next one in line can either steal one from another person or pick one from the table.Well I took the borders card from my sil which she was upset about so when it was her dh turn he snatched it back.It makes a fun game.Maybe i'll get on next year.
I didn't get any new books for Christmas but have received some through the PaperBackSwap website. Decided to save my dinero for upcoming books from Robert Crais and T. Jefferson Parker.
I got a gift card to Barnes and Noble and bought myself Forever Odd (Dean Koontz) and I Know This Much is True (Wally Lamb). I got another gift card to Borders, but I'm not sure which I'm going to buy yet!
I had to laugh about what book your father sent you! It reminded me of when I was married and my father-in-law was alive. One Christmas he got me a book called, 'Death: The Ride of Your Life'.
I got a couple cook books - one looks marginal, but the other is terrific - so many good recipes to try. I already made shrimp remoulade. I had that in New Orleans a few years ago and it was really good. When I went back just after Thanksgiving, I was very happy to see the restaurant open, so I had dinner there and ordered the shrimp. So good. Now I have the recipe, and it is THE recipe. I tried it yesterday and was in heaven :)

I'll probably let you know how my HUSBAND likes MARLEY & ME first, but I'll, at some point, let you know how I like it too!!
