Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone! I’m just popping on to say hello and to post some photos of my bookish Christmas gifts! I got so many this year, some which were on my wish list, and some which were surprises. I got some shirts, books, bookish totes, and a new Kindle, among other bookish things! Here are the photos:
I’ll admit, I’ve had this Kindle since the summer when my Kindle Fire died, but my parents and I agreed it would be a Christmas gift, so my mom wrapped the box, and I opened it as a reminder on Christmas morning. I honestly had forgotten! How else would I have kept up with my Netgalley reviews all these months?
My aunt met the author Mary Belle and got the book signed, personalized and inscribed for me. So cool! And I received The Uncommon Reader from one of my new coworkers at the staff holiday party.
This cute bookish item was on my wishlist, and Santa brought it! It has a photo of a book with flowers coming out of it, and it says “One More Chapter.” The round spot is for my coffee mug, and the rectangle is for my phone. I love this thing!
These t-shirts are awesome and I intend to add them to my weekly rotation. The one on the left is from my sister, brother-in-law and two-month-old niece, and the one on the right is from my parents. I love them both!
These three book totes are perfect for lugging all my books back and forth to the library for my weekly trips! The “All We Read Is Love” is from my aunt, uncle and cousins, the one that says “There Is No Such Thing As Too Many Books” is from another coworker, and “When In Doubt Go to the Library” matches the shirt I got from my parents, and it’s also from them.
So, as my grandfather used to like to say, I “made out like a bandit!” I can’t believe how my family and friends spoiled me this Christmas with all these bookish gifts! I owe them a huge thank you!!! Happy Holidays, everyone!
