Starting the New Year off Right

Christmas and my loving family and friends have ensured that I will be starting off 2011 with plenty of books.  I received five books from my family for Christmas, and two gift cards to Barnes and Noble, thanks to my mom and Twin's boyfriend.  I'm still deciding which books to get with the gift cards.  Here are the wonderful books I received:

Three books from my Wishlist: (I always list about 5 books on my X-mas and B-day lists for my mom, and tell her to choose one or two.)

Pray for Silence by Linda Castillo



Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende




Letters from a Lost Generation: First World War Letters of Vera Brittain and Four Friends by Alan Bishop




Then Little Sis bought me this one, which looks really good:
A Cottage by the Sea by Ciji Ware



And Twin brought me this back from France, complete with excerpts from Last of the Mohicans.  And anyone who took Lit. of American Conflict with me and Mr. Perrelli my senior year of high school knows it's gonna be a riot to read in French.  Trust me, if you want a laugh, read Last of the Mohicans.  If you want to cry, watch the movie.
15 Westerns (by various authors, translated and compiled by Claude Appell and Yvonne Girault)
No photo because the book is from the 70s and she found in at the market ;)
