While I didn’t receive books for Christmas (actually I did get one I already own so I’ll be exchanging it) I did manage to get a lot of bookish goodies. My sweet husband and girlfriends really know me well. Here is some of the loot I got:
- Two cute t-shirts. One says “So Many Books, So Little Time” and the other one says “Addicted to Books.” I’m going to be making quite the fashion statement – books are the new black!
- A Moleskine journal, cool pencil and some Stabilo pens. Yay, more stuff for journaling.
- A little handmade book which will be perfect for jotting down titles and any other bookish information. It’s already in my purse.
- The Nancy Pearl Librarian Action Figure – I’ve been wanting this for ages!
- The Reading Woman calendar. Pretty pictures and good book quotes.
- German day-to-day calendar. I think this is my husband’s not-so-subtle hint that I need to learn more German.
- Peace Love Books mug. Ah, what a great way to enjoy my morning coffee.
There were lots of other presents and I definitely felt very spoiled. Thank you to my loved ones.
I feel like there is so much stuff to catch up on since I’ve been on break. I still have a couple of good books I need to mention that I read towards the end of last year, and I’ve already read a couple of challenge books so stay tuned for those reviews.

Those are some wonderful bookish gifts, Iliana. I need to get one of the book T-shirts. 🙂
Wow, those are wonderful gifts! I’d love to get any book T-shirts! 😉
Oh, boy, you really a bookie! Who knew that Librarian Action Figures existed?! Now, that is cool. Wonderful reading calendar. Somebody knows the way to your heart.
That’s quite a nice little haul. I also love receiving ‘bookish’ gifts. My favorite this year was from my husband. He gave me a sterling silver heart bookmark with my initials engraved on it. I thought that was pretty sweet! I don’t have the calendar you mention, but I did receive the Booklover’s Calendar. Looking forward to hearing about what you’ve been reading!
I don’t really get the action figure, but I’m down with the T-shirts and the moleskine. 🙂
What nice goodies you got! I love my Nancy Pearl action figure. That mug you got is so cute!
Take more vacation days! You are the boss!
Enjoy your presents and your time to relax.
Glad you had such a wonderful Christmas and you did receive many wonderful bookish gifts – lucky girl!
Bookish gifts are always fun. I also got the Women Reading calendar! Enjoy all your new goodies!
Wow, that’s a great haul!!!

Dark Orpheus – Aren’t moleskines the best? There is just something about those journals. I want one of the city guides too but have been resisting the lure.

Fun! I love bookish things almost as much as I love books themselves. Sounds like you got a good bunch.
Such nice gifts! I want that librarian action figure as well. The t-shirts and the journal also sound wonderful!
aka Nik – I do too!
Nymeth – I also want the Jane Austen action figure — maybe next Christmas 🙂
What a great mug! I remember talking about my favourite mug this summer, and I think you said you didn’t have one. Looks like that’s going to change. 🙂
I love that coffee mug! I’ve got that site bookmarked for future reference. Thanks! 😉
