Curious about Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, since the movie features Firth. he is usually pretty picky about his projects.

I don't even ask for them - I just buy for myself. Actually, I did tell my one IRL reading bud that we were buying 1Q84 for each other and that I would read it first. ;)Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478474870247729611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-22429506848383230152011-12-18T16:26:20.277-06:002011-12-18T16:26:20.277-06:00I must read Little Coffins of Hope...I remember yo...I must read Little Coffins of Hope...I remember your review. My family probably will not give me books because like yours they think I have wayyy too many as it is!! My Christmas gift has been the remodel that we're doing on our old house. New bedroom, front entrance, master bath, upstairs bath..very intensive and lots of back breaking work for my hubby and a little bit from me. I've been the painter..yuck! But I know that it will look great when it's finished. I haven't really been thinking about my end of the year list yet...probably after Christmas I will ponder it!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-73566757382333989322011-12-17T00:34:04.034-06:002011-12-17T00:34:04.034-06:00My father is the only one who will even consider g...My father is the only one who will even consider giving me books. I gave him a "wish list" which included The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco, and The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach and a book/CD set of audio recordings by Jackie Kennedy. We'll see if he actually went for it or just gives me the money to do it myself. Not that he doesn't want me to have the books - he just hates the Christmas crowds so don't know if he'll venture out.<br /><br />Hope you get all your Christmas book wishes!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-40499089472984500592011-12-16T23:14:26.875-06:002011-12-16T23:14:26.875-06:00No books for Christmas?!? :-(

My family is scared to give me books because they don't know what I have and have not read already, but I will give myself some! :)<br /><br />This Tinker Tailor book is something I'd probably never pick up... unless it gets rave reviews by you and other bloggers I trust!Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-62026289980195721872011-12-16T12:35:22.871-06:002011-12-16T12:35:22.871-06:00And don't you want to scream BUT I REALLY DO W...And don't you want to scream BUT I REALLY DO WANT BOOKS!! :) I have Night Circus and 1Q84 on my wishlist. Figured if I only asked for two specific books I might get lucky.<br /><br />I hope you get your Christmas wish with lots of reading time. Won't that be wonderful to have the last week of the year off! ;)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-48186212028442257822011-12-16T09:47:04.456-06:002011-12-16T09:47:04.456-06:00I think this is the most anticipated movie of the ...I think this is the most anticipated movie of the year, and I have heard that many people are on the edge of their seats waiting for it. My reading has slowed way down too, and I need to get back into the swing of things. I also don't think I will be getting any books for Christmas, though I will be giving many! I have a feeling that I am going to be gifted with a gift certificate, and I am so excited about that, because I can get as many books as I want, but of course that gift will be coming from a member of my family that has no idea that I have such a problem with collecting books. But hey, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-49537147693412869232011-12-16T08:37:30.841-06:002011-12-16T08:37:30.841-06:00You know, I keep asking for books and no one ever ...You know, I keep asking for books and no one ever buys me any. Not even bookstore gift cards. I guess they figure I have enough already. <br /><br />I read a lot of books this year that really clicked with me but after reading 1Q84, they all seem to pale in comparison. My best of list might be short...like 5 when before that book, I had at least 10.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-61793622697294917412011-12-16T08:06:34.116-06:002011-12-16T08:06:34.116-06:00If my family doesn't buy me books, I can alway...If my family doesn't buy me books, I can always count on Serena to give me bookish gifts. :) Last year, my husband let me order my own gifts (books of course), then gave me a book store gift card. I was in book heaven!<br /><br />Don't feel bad about the Civil War challenge. I don't even know if I'm going to meet my goal, and I'm one of the hosts! :OAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-73536143839025740862011-12-16T05:21:31.284-06:002011-12-16T05:21:31.284-06:00I don't read many mysteries either, though I d...I don't read many mysteries either, though I do enjoy watching some of the mystery shows on regular tv (NCIS, etc.). I, too, am looking forward to Tinker, Taylor et al in the movies!<br /><br />I'm currently reading Rome, by Robert Hughes, who is an art and culture critic - so it's definitely flavored with his own perspective. He covers a lot of ground in the book - probably more than any one book should - but as a fan of Roma I quite enjoyed it.terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.com
