As you probably know by now, I love books. The fact that there is one out in the world that has my name on it makes me happier than I can say. Every year I say (to myself — no one really cares) that I’m going to only give books as Christmas presents, but I never actually do this; there are so many lovely things I want to give my loved ones, I can’t rein myself in to just bookish gifts. But that doesn’t stop me drooling over their covers.

So here’s a few of the books I own and a few I want to own — all of them would make ace Christmas presents :)
