What books are you hoping to receive for Christmas?

[MiaWallace]

I've been hinting for 'The boy in the striped pyjamas' but will buy it myself if I don't receive it.

What you hoping to get?

The new Stephen King.
A veggie cookbook, to add to the other cookbooks that I read and read and rarely actually cook from.
A big fat history book of some sort.

The other one I wanted was "Beadle The Bard" but I cheated and bought it for myself this morning.

'soul tourists' and 'the emperor's babe', both by Bernadine Evaristo.

I've just finished her new novel 'Blonde Roots' and it was fantastic.

Bit nervous though, as they are novels in verse.

I want a cookery book too-one by Jane Brocket about food in children's books.

Ooh is that the ginger beer one? Can I add that too?!

sounds fab, doesn't it? Probably not much chance I'll make anything out of it.
