What books did you ask Santa to bring?

My Christmas wishlist mostly consists of books this year.  There are far too many to list, but some titles include The Hunger Games trilogy, Everything Is Illuminated, Gone With The Wind, Middlesex, and Sarah’s Key, to name a few.  My mom was a bit overwhelmed when I emailed her the full list, so I’ll spare you the pain.  I want to hear what books are on your wishlist.  I’m going to play Santa’s helper for one lucky person and deliver a book via The Book Depository.

Over the past few weeks I’ve won a few awesome giveaways.  I’ve been wanting to thank the hosts and link back to their blogs, but I’ve been incredibly busy with finals.  Since there are still a few pending giveaways that I have entered, I decided to wait until the end of the year.  At the end of December I’ll do a big wrap-up post of giveaways I’ve won and the generosity of each host.

Until then, I’ve decided to host my own giveaway! I had wanted to wait until I had 50 subscribers, but 45 is just so close and it’s almost the holidays So, here it is:

1 lucky winner will win:

The Book Depository provides free shipping internationally, so this contest is open to any country on this list.

The contest will close on December 17th at 11:59pm EST and I will announce a winner using Random.org on December 18th.  The winner will be notified via e-mail to choose their prize and provide an shipping address.  If the winner does not respond within 5 days of being notified, I will choose a new winner.

Unfortunately, it looks like it’s too late for the winner’s book choice to arrive before Christmas, but I hope it will be a nice present anyway.
