"Christmas is quickly approaching. What book- or reading-related gift would you love to receive for Christmas?"
A book always, always makes my list. This year these are on my list:
The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards
Mennonite Girls Can Cook by the girls that contribute to the blog by the same name.
It's also a well known understanding that a gift card to any book store in town rocks my world. One of my favorite things to do is to take that gift card and browse for hours deciding what I would like to spend it on.
So what books or book related items made your list this year?

Omgosh...the Lake of Dreams was excellent but I still liked Memory Keeper's Daughter better.....i hope you get it, Susanne. I have never heard of the first one and I've seen that blog but didn't know there was a book! I would like one of the new Adirondack hiking books about the trails in Hamilton County (about one hour northwest of me) where I want to d osome serious hiking next summer...I also would like to own Blue Like Jazz as I've never read it and our library is ALWAYS out of it...the waiting list is over 60 people long!
This is my wish list for books:
