Hello, my merry band of readers!

The gift-giving season is nearly over, although I hear the Wise Men are still on their way for those of the Orthodox faith, so I thought it would be a good time to share the bookish goodies you may have received for the holidays!

If Amazon's latest news is any indication, (and stop being such a drama queen, Dave!)   then many of you were the hopefully happy recipient of Amazon's Kindle. But I know there were a few Nooks and Sony ereaders delivered as well!

I made out like a book bandit. I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," mostly because an autographed copy of the original is thousands of dollars. But no matter! The alternative was a great treat. And someday, Seth Graham-Smith's signature may be just as valuable.

I also recieved a couple of these very neat floating bookshelves, and I'm looking forward to putting a few of my favorites in a place of floating honor.

So how about it Read Streeters? Let us know about your new favorite books, devices, accessories or dinners with famous authors. (Pictures are also encouraged!)
