Today's TTT topic is books that we wouldn't mind getting for Christmas. Here goes!
1. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Illustrated Edition by J.K. Rowling: Squeeee! Just take my money.
2. Samarkand: Recipes and Stories from Central Asia and the Caucasus by Caroline Eden and Eleanor Ford: I probably would never actually cook any of the recipes, but I'm sure the pictures are nice. ;)
3. Mamushka: Recipes from Ukraine and Beyond by Olia Hercules: Another recipe book that looks lovely.
4. History: From the Dawn of Civilization to the Present by Adam Hart-Davis: This is totally up my alley.
5. Swing Time by Zadie Smith: I've read a few of her books and this looks very interesting.
6. Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow: Because I have a thing for collecting historical biographies.
7. Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman: I've meant to read this for a while now, but never got around to it. The cover is so nice! I wouldn't mind owning it.
8. Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan: I will probably get this from the library, but I love owning heavy historical books, so it would make me happy to find it under my tree.
9. The Reason You Walk by Wab Kinew: I've been reading a lot about First Nations issues recently, and this autobiography seems like it would be interesting and important.
10. When Breath Become Air by Paul Kalanithi: I've heard so many rave reviews of this book, and it seems like one I might want to read more than once.
Oooo, interesting list, especially the recipe books. I've seen Silk Roads online and it looks like an interesting as well. I hope you all the books on your list from Santa!!
