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.

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.

My friend Alicia got me Paper Towns by John Green.

I can't wait to post more books later, last year I received over 10 books for Christmas!

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

Cool present. I have that one and it's very informative and entertaining if you're into that stuff.
