What books did you get for Christmas/ in the sales?

[Kayano]

I got:
Good man Jesus and Scoundrel Christ - Pullman
1Q84 - Murakami
Dark Matter , a ghost story - Michelle Paver
Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell

I picked them up shopping in the sales as DH ignored my 'you do know I have an Amazon wishlist' when getting my pressies :D

What did you get and what are you going to read first?

The new Susan hill, two jostein gaarders and my dad bought me a spine chilling ghost stories book. Half way through the Susan hill, then the jostein ones. Don't think thr spine chillers will ne read!

A book called Exiled, new Stephen King, new Jeanette Winterson.
Have read the first and one chapter in to Mr King. I have read about 10 from the library too.

New Stephen King (am saving it for New Year's Eve and avoiding the thread above!)
A couple of old King's that I've read but didn't own
A book about the Peasant's Revolt
A Jane Austen spin-off book

V happy :)

Got The Help in paper form, have read it already, is v good.

On Kindle have treated myself to Wolf Hall as I've got it from the library and am enjoying it but it's damn heavy.

Just bought a book called Maine which looks good.

2 Mark Kermodes and a Pratchett.

Got Paulline Simons The Bronze Horseman, Tatiana and Alexander and The Summer Gardens.

Ended up with Game of Thrones as DB already read it.

2 Mark Kermodes and a Pratchett.

Just got Alice Munro's Collected Stories for my mum in Foyles, hardback, £9. It's great.

"Medium Raw" by Anthony Bourdain. Finished it on the 26th.

Steve Jobs autobiography
The reluctant fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid

I loved Kitchen Confidential by Bourdain - is Medium Raw another autobiographical one from him?

Eat Me cookbook.
Probably not what you meant but boy am I happy!!

The new Robert Harris (the Fear Index) which looks promising and "Death Comes to Pemberley" - the PD James post Pride & Prejudice/murder mystery thing. I've started the latter - am a bit sniffy about it all in principle being a bit of an Austen snob and all, but it's actually really good.

And on a similar theme I have Anthony Horowitz's new Sherlock Holmes book. Again, I want to hate it but suspect I'll love it.
