What books did you get for Christmukkah?

And who's already started reading?


I asked for and received The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Rae Carson) and The Scorpio Races (Maggie Stiefvater), because I was addicted to the ARCs and just had to own them, plus Revolution (Jennifer Donnelly) because I read so many amazing blogger reviews and wanted to read it myself (finally)!

Plus... I will soon be getting my B&N online order of The Fault in Our Stars (John Green), along with Lola and the Boy Next Door (Stephanie Perkins), which I've been waiting for since I ordered them in September! (Thankfully, I read an ARC of Lola, but I can't wait til she's on the shelf next to Anna!)

Last but not least, I made a library run (since I have a week off work), and I picked up Let It Snow (John Green, Lauren Myracle, Maureen Johnson), The Space Between (Brenna Yovanoff), The Probability of Miracles (Wendy Wunder), Sisters Red (Jackson Pearce), Sloppy Firsts (Megan McCafferty), and Jane (April Lindner).

One problem: What do I read first?

    Read Jane--it's one of the best modern updates of a classic novel that I've read in a while.

    wow so many books! I particularly like the Probability of Miracles. I want to read that book so badly. Anyway, I received Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi and Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver this Christmas. :) I'm saving them for January and I can't hardly wait.

    Well, I've read Sloppy Firsts and really loved it. I just need to read the rest of the series now. LOL

    I can't wait for John Green's latest. :)

    Anonymous - I just finished Jane -- it was excellent!

    SJune - I haven't read that book yet, but I know a ton of people who love it.

    Sarah - You'll love them!

    Lauren - You and me both! I can't wait to (finally) read Sloppy Firsts.

    Just because I'm a huge nerdfighter, I'm gonna cheer for the John Green books to be first up on your TBR pile. (Plus, I feel so bad for him with Barnes and Noble screwing up his launch date by shipping early!)

    Personally, I'm torn about which book to read first in 2012, because my 2011 list is still so tall, it's teetering like the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

    Here's hoping 2012 is full of excellent reads for us all!


    Smiles!
