Inspired by a post by Ellee - 13 books on my Christmas List 1. Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters. I am currently reading Fingersmith and loving it, so would like to read more of her work. 2. Charles and Camilla by Gyles Brandreth. I know I am WAY out on a limb on my own here, but I really like Camilla. I think she would be great fun at a dinner party. 3. The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket. Well, I'd like to see if it's as great a cross-over book as the Harry Potters. 4. The L-Shaped Room by Lynne Reid Banks I read this years ago in my early teens. Would like to know if it will still have the same, or even a greater, impact on me now as then. 5. Venus in Copper by Lindsay Davis I am a big fan of the Falco books and have 1,2 and 4. This is 3 and I would like to get this missing book in the sequence before I buy any more. 6. Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley by Alison Weir I loved her book on the Six Wives of Henry VIII, would like to read more easily accessible history books. 7. Prison Diary 2: Purgatory by Jeffrey Archer The first one was a real eye-opener. 8. Wicked by Jilly Cooper I love Jilly Cooper - my guilty pleasure 9. A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton Well, why not start another series of books.... 10. Popcorn by Ben Elton I always read great reviews of his work, but have never actually read any of his books. 11. Wicked by Gregory Maguire I haven't seen the musical but the blurb of the book looks really interesting. 12. The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus by Margaret Attwood Have recently started to read some books set around this era, both fiction and non-fiction, and this looks like a good addition 13. The Last Temptation by Val McDermid Another one of my favourite authors. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!) |

Wow! I can tell that I read more children's books than adult books! I'm not familiar with most of those! Great list, though, and I made a couple notations for vacation reading. Thanks for visiting my T13.
With Wicked - Don't let the book turn you off of the musical. I understand the book moves pretty slow, but the musical was Awesome!
That's a very interesting list! Thank you very much for sharing!
Hugs and happy TT from Germany,

Ahhh.. another book lover! Thanks for dropping by!
Great list - I love reading. :) What a wonderful, eclectic list of books. :) Lindsay Davis is one of my favourite mystery authors - I enjoy all the Falco books. :) #6 sounds like a book I would also enjoy.
Happy T13. :)
I love Alison Weir. She is so good at making her historical figures come alive.
Happy TT!

I haven't read any of those (I've only even heard of a couple). Happy reading these holidays :)
A copy of Boris was sent to me today, so I have one present from my wish list. I hope you are lucky with your selection.
Merry Christmas wishes to you and your family too.
