Christmas Spoils Part I

I kind of dread the present giving/receiving aspect of Christmas given the consensus of the entire family is that I have way too many books and what could I possibly want with more? I spend the days leading up to Christmas conjuring up images of ugly pastel yellow sweaters of yore with a shudder and prepare for the worst. Well the worst didn't come this year because they had no idea what to give me so I got $ which translated into...BOOKS! YAY!

Now as I mentioned in my review of His Majesty's Dragon, I ordered the next two books in the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik from PBS. They are:

• Throne of Jade
• The Black Powder War
  

Then I moseyed on over to the Barnes & Noble Website and ordered:

• Whiskey Rebels by David Liss
• The King's Daughter by Barbara Kyle
• All the Queen's Players by Jane Feather
  

Then I skipped on over to Bookcloseouts and found:

• Splendor (Luxe Bk 4) by Anna Godbersen
• Unicorn's Blood by Patricia Finney
• Thomas Cromwell by Robert Hutchinson
• Vagrants by Yiyun Li
• Tears of Pearl (Lady Emily Bk 4) by Tasha Alexander
• The Red Velvet Turnshoe by Cassandra Clark
• The Miracles of Prato by Laurie Albanese and Laura Morowitz
• The Last Concubine by Lesley Downer
• The Lady Queen by Nancy Goldstone
• The Heretic's Wife by Brenda Rickman Vantrease
• Envy (Luxe Bk 3) by Anna Godbersen
• Dragonlight (Dragon Keepers Chronicles Bk 5) by Donita K. Paul
• Land of Marvels by Barry Unsworth
  

That's 16 books (plus the 2 from PBS) for $77! I love after Christmas deals! Hope everyone else got plenty of books in their stockings! I still have $ left so I will be probably be taking a trip out to B&N sometime this weekend for some shopping and quiet time so stay tuned from Christmas spoils part 2. :)
