Every good bibliophile gets book-type things for Christmas presents, right? I'm no exception. I know it's already a few weeks after Christmas, but life is finally calming down enough to organize Christmas presents. So here are the wonderfully bookish things I got for Christmas this year. Books! (No surprise) The top one is the only actual book I got (a present from my mom). The rest were purchased with the Barnes & Noble gift card I received from my brother. Yup, my family knows me well. A tote bag that is absolutely perfect for hauling around the piles of books I seem to accumulate. And in the meantime, it hangs on the railing upstairs, decorating my library with its awesome Scrabble-y bookishness! Trivial Pursuit is just about my all-time favorite board game. And did you know there's a Book Lover's Edition??? Now I just need someone who's willing to play it with me. Any takers?

Great gifts! I am going to have to find that Trivial Pursuit for my daughter! We would have a great time with it.

It's a lot of fun, but also rather humbling. I thought I knew a lot about books, but there were plenty of questions about books and authors that I had never even heard of! I think my TBR list will grow by playing this game. . .

I haven't read any of the books I bought, although The Importance of Being Earnest and Daniel Deronda are on my Classics Club list. Sailing Alone Around the World was just too intriguing to pass up. I haven't read Kon Tiki yet, but it sounds like it would fit right in. Thanks for the suggestion!

My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
