Sophie's Masterpiece, Eileen Spinelli, Jane Dyer
A lovely holiday gift from Carrie, this is the charming store about a (we think French!) spider-girl who is just looking for a place to spin some pretty webs.

Kitchen Suppers: Good Food to Share with Good Friends, Alison Becker Hurt
A holiday gift from the Leckmans. One of the best cookbooks on entertaining i've read in a long time; i can see myself giving this as a gift in the near future. Solid advice about how to run a dinner party without getting stressed, including how to fix things up that go wrong at the last minute. The 3 recipes i've tried so far have been solidly written and easy to execute - Mimi's Tomato Soup was especially tasty!

The Crow Road, Iain Banks
A fantastic book. Iain Banks tells his story vividly and thoroughly.

The Fellowship of The Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien
Yes, i'm reading these for the same reason everyone else is. I'm suprised how much it's like reading them for the first time it is - either i've forgotten a ton, or there was a lot i just plain missed as a kid when i was reading these. Charming and epic, in the best senses of both words.
