I got an illustrated Harry Potter book, Little Fires Everywhere, and Endurance, which is the memoir of Scott Kelly, the astronaut who's been in space the longest.
Additions to our Harry Potter collections: I got the illustrated Prisoner of Azkaban and DD got the illustrated Fantastic Beasts. Different artists but they are both beautiful.
I got the Bronze Horseman (I read it as a library ebook and I wanted a physical book because I liked it so much) and two volumes of the Saga graphic novel series I haven't read yet - excited!
I purchased The Identicals and The Orphans Tale yesterday since they were on sale with an Amazon gift card. I also need to order the iullustrated Harry Potter and the PoA since I didn't get it for Christmas.
Now my daughter had a book haul!!! Four Bad Kitty books, Dogman, The Bad Guys, Rainbow Magic Soccer Fairy, and The Chicken Squad. That should last us awhile!

I made out like a bandit:
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng Fireflyn Lane by Kristin Hannah Normally this would be cause for concern by Danielle Fishelle (Topanga from Boy Meets World) All these things that I've done by Matt Pinfield
I think there was another one I can't remember. Sadly I haven't even read all of my 2016 haul so I should probably make all of these my 2018 TBR list.

I only got one book, Nancy Pickard's The Virgin of Small Plains. I did get Amazon and B&N gift cards though I gave my mother Hillderbrand's Winter Street series for Christmas and am excited to see if she likes it as much as I did.
I got no books. My DH noted this and asked if I was sad he didn't buy me any. I am not, as I have been fully enjoying the process of borrowing from the library and my mom keeps adding books to our Nook, but it might be the first time ever I got none, including cook books.

Looking forward to reading these. I'm especially excited about the Dark Tower graphic novel. Good find dh.
My sister also leant/gave me her copies of the Southern Reach Trilogy while she was visiting over the holidays. So I'm counting those as Christmas scores too.
