Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.
For this week’s Book Blogger Hop question, Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer asked:
Did you get any books for Christmas? If so, name the titles.
My answer:
Yes! I was gifted a copy of The Song Of Achillies by Madeline Miller from my friend Heather of Heather’s Reading Hideaway. My husband also totally spoiled me and bought me The Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab and The Official Behind the Scenes Companion of Stranger Things- Worlds Turned Upside Down.
I cannot wait to dive into each of these books!
Thanks for reading!
Did you receive any books for the holidays?
Shreeya Sharma says
I just recently finished Circe and am now completely in love with Madeline Miller. Song of Achillies is on the top of my TBR!
I'm a Hindu so we don't really celebrate Christmas or exchange gifts. My parents would get me gifts when I was younger but we haven't done that in many years. My friends and I are doing a Secret Santa in college. So hopefully I get a book once college reopens! *fingers crossed*
Erica Metcalf says
I can't wait to check out Circe as well!! Thanks for stopping by! π
Greg says
Ooh good stuff! I love the sound of that Stranger Things book!
Erica Metcalf says
Right?! I cannot WAIT to dive in! It looks so fun!
Angela Lawrence says
Ooh, you got some good ones! I actually didn't get any this year, but there wasn't really anything I wanted at the moment.

Suzanne at The Bookish Libra says
Sounds like you got quite a few great reads. I love the Shades of Magic series.
Erica Metcalf says
π I can't wait to read it!!
Maria Behar says
You are SO FREAKING LUCKY, ERICA!!!! LOL.
Nobody around me gives me books anymore….BOO-HOO! They all think I have WAY too many already! (I'm referring to my husband and family.) So, they will give me "practical and necessary" stuff like clothes! So then I have to be my own Santa! I treat myself to books all year 'round, though! LOL.
Thanks for sharing!! Now I need to go wash my face, because it's turning a rather noticeable shade of green…..LOL.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! <3 π
Maria Behar says
P.S. I'm bookmarking this page so I can check out these books on Goodreads!!! <3 π
Erica Metcalf says
hahahaha oh my gosh, I definitely have too many books. They're totally taking over! My goal of 2019 is to go though and finally read the ones I haven't yet to decide if they stay or go! π
Nicki J Markus says
Sounds good. I am keen to read the Schwab series too.

No books given to me but I'm spending a gift card on some!
Erica Metcalf says
Wahoo!! I love gift cards!!
Nicci says
Oh, nice! I like the sound of The Song Of Achillies. I didn't get any books this year but I did get an awesome bookmark and giftcards so that works for me! π
Erica Metcalf says
That's awesome!
Kathleen Garber says
If my husband was more of a reader he'd probably enjoy the Stranger Things book as he likes that show. I bought myself 19 books which I shared about here: http://smsnonfictionbookreviews.com/2018/12/bbh-books-i-got-for-christmas/
Erica Metcalf says
That's awesome!! I'll check out your haul right now!
