My mum always gives us book shop gift cards. Alexzander picked a massive hard cover collection of all the Thomas the Tank Engine stories today, it's beautiful & such a great choice. I haven't picked mine just yet but I have $70 to spend up big in the sales
Oooh Rufalina the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is great. I have read all three in the Millenium series and loved them.
The books elf this year bought me Dan Brown's Angels and Deamons and a gardening book called Harvest which shows you all about planting your own edible garden. Can't wait to get into both of these when I finish my current novel.
The kids also got a number of books which is always handy as they are already little bookworms. But my favourite for them was a boxed edition of The Complete Peter Rabit Library which is 23 books all for when they are a bit older though!
The Christmas book elf brought me... an Amazon Kindle!! Google it, seriously, I'd never heard of it before and I. Am. In. LOVE. So far I've downloaded The Great Gatsby, Madame Bovary, The Age of Innocence (catching up on my classics while I decide what new stuff to buy) and have downloaded a bunch of free samples of random books that sounded good so I can check them out and decide when I get paid
Best Christmas gift ever!!
The kids got some Grug and Little Miss books, and some Little Golden Books, too
OOOOH now I'm having a lil envy fit, Glamourcide! Not as much amazon content apparently as when you live in the US (where you can broadband your stuff straight down into the kindle without a PC intermediary) but still very very cool. Please post again in a few days when you've been able to fiddle and read with it and tell us all about it!!!
