Christmas book haul!

First, a brief explanation as to why there were only two posts last week: I was on the other side of the country playing lots of games, eating lots of cookies, eating lots of good food in general (curry, soup, pork ribs, apple stuffing...), hanging out with a few friends, admiring Christmas lights and enjoying a week with my in-laws, while the macbook stayed at home.

Back to the book haul. This massive stack is a combination of Christmas presents, books bought with Christmas presents (aka gift cards) and a book-for-review deal. The four on the right are actually my husband's, and he does plan on exchanging one of those duplicate copies. :)

Top to bottom: 

• Sarah (Women of Genesis) by Orson Scott Card
• Cyndere's Midnight (The Auralia Thread #2) by Jeffery Overstreet
• Grace at Low Tide by Beth Webb Hart
• The Three Weissmanns of Westport by Cathleen Schine
• Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson
• Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith--you can tell by the crease in the spine that I've already started wrecking it
• Emma of Aurora (the complete Change and Cherish trilogy) by Jane Kirkpatrick
• One-Woman Farm by Jenna Woginrich
• Halley's Bible Handbook with the New International Version (Deluxe Edition)

Left to right:

• The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
• Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
• Fire by Kristin Cashore

...and guess what? There's still one more wandering through the mail system somewhere (The Copyeditor's Handbook, which I'm very excited about). :D
