ALL I WANT...A HOLIDAY WISH LIST

Here's the post where I pimp the books of strangers and friends, plus a few non-bookish things I'd also like in case my husband reads this post ;)

These Mountain Hardwear incredibly fuzzy Pyxis fleece pants. Seriously. Beyond fuzzy! Size small, please!

These LL Bean suede driving moccasins. Yes, in RED (it's Christmas). Size 8, medium (and they're on sale)!

And a girl needs her jewels, right? (In support of public television, I'm opting for these glitzy Aurora Borealis earrings from the Signals catalog.

NOW FOR THE BOOKS...

The art of photography in a YA contemp

from Justina Chen. So...yes!

This just looks beautiful. Letters to lost artists--musicians and actors who died too young--are at the core of DellAira's glowingly reviewed debut.

The highly-lauded, less-read debut

by Gone Girl's Gillian Flynn.

How many people have to recommend a book

before you have to buy it? 

Hit it twice over for Marie Lu's latest!

The follow-up to Zadoff's 

first awesome Assassin novel,

which I could not put down!

The threat of love separated by college

geography? Been there with my sons--

plus it's a Perkins romance, right?

 Can't seem to get any more pix to upload for this post, but just two more titles: Jenna Fox author Mary E. Pearson's KISS OF DECEPTION and SCBWI-maven extraordinaire Laurie Thompson's great nonfiction contribution to teen libraries, BE A CHANGEMAKER.

HOPE YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING INCLUDES TONS OF BOOKS!
