I've just spent yet another busy morning at work writing mine out to pass around to family and friends so they can't get it wrong and I was just wondering which books everyone else was hoping to get for christmas.

Mine are:

Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War - Clive Barker
A Woman of Independence - Kirsty Sword-Gusmao
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
Cloudstreet - Tim Winton
One Crowded Hour - Tim Bowden
Slow Travel - Mari Rhydwen

I want Harry Potter 5. My sister owns it but she is taking forever to read it so it would be nice to have that book for myself

Well, I don't just celebrate Christmas, so I've already gotten some books for Chanukah.

The books I want/ wanted the most are:
Jim Butcher's Dresden Files
Aliens and Alien Socities (which I got for Chanukah)
Richard Ford's Faradawn trilogy
The Writer's Digest Character Naming Sourcebook
Kristine Smith's Janni series
any Sheri S. Tepper books I don't already have
any of the In Death books I don't have
Barbara Chepaitis' books
the three Sholan Alliance books by Lisanne Norman that I don't have

Lorna

A couple of the books I've asked for are:

-- To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee
-- 40 Years In Gombe - Jane Goodall
-- Thirty Years of Primate Photography
-- The Hobbit - J R R Tolkien

This is really silly but I can't remember the names of the books that I asked for. But I know they were really good ones--guess I'll be surprised when I open my presents.

I've got a list of over 100 with some fantasy, romance, and western novels in it. I'm building up my collection, trying to collect series and such. They're all books that I've previously read but don't have.

The Dark Highlander Series books by Karen Marie Moning I've read two of them (there's 6 in all) because someone let me borrow them but that's all she had!! Now I want them all..they are SO good!

Mavericks

Abarat - Days of Magic, Nights of War (Clive Barker) - want it sooo bad!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl)
A Series of Unfortunate Events set (Lemony Snicket)
Fahrenheit 451 (Bradbury)

22 Umbrellas

I also want Abarat, Days of Magic, Nights of War by Clive Barker, but I'm waiting for the paperback.
+ Kissing the Rain by Kevin Brooks (again, waiting for paperback)
+ The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler (and any of his Lemony Snicket books are, of course, more than welcome)
+ Astonishing Splashes of Colour by Clare Morrall

For some reason, that's all I can remember at the moment.

The Hobbit- JRR Tolkien
Page- Tamora Pierce
Squire- Tamora Pierce
Trickster's Choice- Tamora Pierce

For the first time ever, I didn't ask for that many books. I think I shocked everyone I told.

I'm holding out for the paperback of Days of Magic, Nights of War too. I just borrowed it from the library, so I'm all set for now. I did get The Essential Clive Barker for Chanukah though.

There are so many books I forgot to add to my list that I keep adding now. My birthday is in a few months, so I just keep the same list on file and reuse it.
