Books - What books are on your holiday wish list?

**TheAngel** · 11-06-2007, 06:13 AM

Hello everyone. With the holiday season approaching I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread where everyone can put the list of books they're just dying to get, either for yourself or for other people. Maybe someone else's list will trigger something for yours. Then we can see after the holiday season if your wishes came true.
So far the books on my list are:
The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King
The Greener Shore by Morgan Llywelyn
The White Mare by Jules Watson
Woken Furies by Richard K. Morgan
Any of the Novels of Vampire Earth by E. E. Knight, other than 1 and 2.
Path of Honor by Diana Pharaoh Francis

This is all I can think of right now, but give me a few days and I'm sure I can think up something else.

The Twilight series (minus Twilight)
The Lovely Bones

I'm sure I will think of more, and edit my post later

My problem is that a lot of the books I want I'll find when I'm walking through the bookstore and will forget the titles as soon as I get home so I forget to ask for them for Christmas. As soon as I make a trip back to the bookstore, though, they'll be there staring back at me from the shelf. Sometimes I just ask for a little money so I can go to the bookstore and buy what I find, other times my grandmother will take me to the bookstore before Christmas and get me what I want. But a lot of times I don't have a huge list. This is one of the biggest I've had recently.

I don't have too many books on my holiday list because I have no idea when I'm moving and the fewer books to move the better, but here are my must-haves:
The Cipher by Diana Pharaoh Francis: the start of a new series
Endgame by Kristine Smith
Elemental: The Tsunami Relief Anthology
Cast in Courtlight by Michelle Sagara
In Stone's Clasp by Christie Golden
A Lunatic Fear by Barbara Chepaitis
Alpha by Catherine Asaro

Yeah, there are a couple more books I want, but then I can' t think of a day in my life I haven't had a couple of books I want. I'll probably wait until after next semester, but them over the summer, and then take them to Europe with me. Which is very stupid for backpacking but since I'll be staying six weeks in one place I should be OK. I've never heard of The Witches of Freiburg but I may have to read that one. We'll see how my German comprehension is, lol.
