I'd go nuts in their history department (though I'd have to wait till after Christmas as DS works for a publisher and has probably got me history books for Christmas.)

Definitely save it for the sales!

Depends what you're into- travel writing / humour / fiction / history etc

I really love the bill Bryson books for being able to just curl up and not have to "think" about a book

I've also been working my way through the old school classics I used to think were boring when at school- recent "new" discoveries are 1984 and most of the Charles dickens

Or go mad and splurge on every recipe book you've ever wanted Smile

Congratulations, it depends what you like. Fiction I would recommend Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake.

I would put it towards a kindle paperwhite. I love real books so haven't sucumbed yet but this would be so useful for myblong insomnia fuelled nights without disturbing dh.

Lucky you. Enjoy spending whatever you get!

Maggie o'farrell - love her booksGrin

Hotair - that is exactly what I intend to do.

I do have a kindle and I love it but I haven't given up actual books. I do need a new cover and a calendar so those will be two likely purchases.

So jealous!

I would buy a big fat cookbook and lots of these, plus a couple of really beautiful editions of classics such as this.

Oh I have a few of the Very Short intros they are great. I might just do that.

I am doing a history degree and I know two lecturers have books out in 2014 so will save a little for those.

Which ones have you read, Anne? The only one I haven't loved so far was the Antarctic one.

BikeRunSki · 24/12/2013 16:04

I have recently discovered Ernest Hemmingway, and would stock up on them. I would also love the Wainwright guides to the Lakeland Fells.

AnneWentworth · 25/12/2013 08:25

I have read, China, 18th Century, 19th century, Empire and the Russian Revolution.
