What books did you get for Christmas?

This is a little late, but I saw a thread like this on the Movies board.

I got lotsa books. I always do, because my family is spread over 5 states, so we mostly give books, CDs, and DVDs, because they're easy to pack.

The Illustrated Theory of Everything, by Stephen Hawking
Native Roots: How the Indians Enriched America, by Jack Weatherford
Harlequin Valentine, by Neil Gaiman

Um... That's all I can think of. I know there were more. I had a whole bag full of them.

Duuude, Chanukah AND Christmas presents? It's so not fair!

I found the rest of the bag of book I brought home, but turns out they're all ones I borrowed.

I celebrate Chanukah with my SO's family. When we have children, they are going to be soooo spoiled.

My mom also got me a gift certificate for Christmas for my favorite used bookstore, so I bought four more books that I guess count as Christmas gifts too:
The Hidden Dragon by Irene Radford
The Zanzibar Cat by Joanna Russ
Rhapsody by Elizabeth Haydon
Street Magic by Tamora Pierce

I think it's probably the first Christmas where I didn't get any books as presents. I didn't reply to the thread before in case I would receive late Christmas presents (yes, yes, I still get those around January 15th ) and yet I didn't get any books at all this year. I was kinda disappointed because I always love to get new books, and so did I since I was a kid.
