Lorien Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I didn't get any serious books - they were all fiction - all 31 of them! Everyone who gave me anything mostly gave me books. I also still have some money dh's grandmother gave me. That will probably go towards more books. It was a fun day! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarawatsonim Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I got a preloaded visa card to spend as I wish (I'm very hard to shop for unless I spell out exactly what I want). I'm currently on Amazon filling my cart and getting a strange, exciting rush from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Only one book this year - Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God by Francis Chan. Dh knew I needed clothes more, so I didn't get my usual stack. :) That's okay as I have at least 5 on my bookshelf waiting to be read. And, there's always the library!

Dobela Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I only received one Christmas gift this year and it was a book. Sarah Palin's Going Rogue. And no, it was not what I wanted. I don't know what my husband and son were thinking but it was difficult to hide my disapointment. The thing is, I love to read and had provided them with a list of books and other things that I would have been thrilled with - many of which would have cost much less than this book. Yeah, I wanted to read it but my plan was to do it on the library's dime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
