| Ultimate Fan   | The "What Books I Got for the Holidays" Thread Hey Everyone, I thought it might be fun this holiday season to make a board where people can post a list of the books they were given (or bought for themselves). Feel free to post a list of any books you got for the holidays, be it Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa or anything else you celebrate. And, feel free to comment on those books if you've already read one of them (or something by the same author). My dad gave me an early Christmas present and bought me Bruce Lee's Fighting Method:The Complete Edition and I can feel a couple more books under the tree  so I expect to be getting a few more on Christmas day. I'm looking forward to it, because my mom's always been really good about getting me a lot of fun books.Everyone else, show us your lists. __________________ Real Gamers Wear Pink "There is nothing to writing.

| Cool thread. Thanks for starting it. My friend gave me a gift card to Barnes & Noble so not sure which books I'll be spending it on yet. __________________ "I'm here Sam, and I'm not going anywhere" Fav.

| Nobody wants to buy me books as a present because I'm working in a bookshop and they think it's stupid because I can borrow all the books I want  __________________ *Aurélie* Lauren Graham | Cobie Smulders | My icons "They love each other and they bicker a bit, but they enjoy bickering, so we shouldn't worry about it." - JKR  Ron/Hermione | Luke/Lorelai | Chuck/Blair | Barney/Robin | |||
