Holy cow, did I get books for Christmas!! Spouse went onto my GoodReads "To Read" list and shopped from that. Brilliant :D I have three Sheri Teppers (the Jinian trilogy) and a Patricia McKillip (The Throme of the Erril of Sherril with a bonus short story about an ice dragon), the seriously creepy (I know because I already ripped through it Christmas morning) Clockwork by Philip Pullman, two books on witchcraft in medieval Europe (recommended by ennyousai), Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses which I've wanted to read forever, and Dorothy Sayers' The Mind of the Maker, about creativity/creation.

Best of all, a signed copy of Those Across the River!! This is a Southern gothic horror novel by Christopher Buehlmann, whom we know from the Ren Fest circuit (his alter ego is Christoph the Insulter LOL!). The book's gotten all kinds of stellar reviews and is already being turned into a movie.

I also got lots of chocolate. So I know what I'm doing all week. But what to dive into first?!?
