I such a nice, fun, relaxing Christmas in Mississippi this year (technically, since this is January 2, it was last year). Even though my sister and I live in the same city now, it was great to both be home together with our parents. Per tradition, we had decorated our tree over Thanksgiving, so it was nice to return and see it again. I had a whirlwind two weeks before I headed home, so I needed a break! There were tacky sweater parties, JLW events, a book signing, and the annual Dirty Santa party that my girlfriends and I have. After I had not one but THREE different gifts stolen from me, I ended up with my own gift--it was fortuitous that I bought a gift that I actually would have liked to receive!

Also, I am super excited about my new Kindle Fire that Santa brought me for Christmas! It's really cool, y'all--and it will save me mucho room on my bookshelf. Unfortunately, since I don't yet own my dream home, or at least a home with an awesome library (at this point, I'd take a mediocre library), I appreciate having the option to buy books electronically and take them with me wherever I go.
That said, I'm currently reading One Thousand White Women for my book club. I'm about halfway through and really enjoying it so far. I'll do a review once I finish it, and the next book on my list is The Paris Wife.
I leave you with some images of my ideal home library. You're welcome.
