Making a Christmas List - the book version

My parents taught me to make a Christmas list every year. They would pick an item or two off it and then share it with the grandparents. Even now, people ask for lists because they know I like books, but they don't know which ones. I can usually type up a fresh list books for a Christmas list in no time because I generally have a revolving Amazon-style wish list in mind 24/7.

This year, my list includes the recently released "Autobiography of Mark Twain Volume 1" (see Smoky Trudeau's review) and Laura Hillenbrand's ("Seabiscuit") new "Unbroken: a World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption" (see the Wall Street Journal profile).

In fiction, I enjoyed "Forest Song: Finding Home" by Vila SpiderHawk. So now I'm ready for the next book in the series, "Forest Song: Little Mother." My list will also include Collin Kelley's "Conquering Venus."


What about you. Do you hope to see a few new releases beneath your Christmas tree from friends who asked you for a list of just seemed to know what you were looking for?
