obligatory xmas post

[stormsandsins]

I am back at last. I regularly checked my email/lj and sometimes twitter to see what everyone was up to, but was too busy to reply. We baked, cooked, Amy's in-laws were in town, and then my parents, and then sometimes I babysat, and... yeah... not much time to myself. I'll be glad to see my bed again *snuggles*

My gifts:

• A vintage Bon Voyage

That's a good haul!

Thanks! :) You should have seen my godson and nephew, though. The in-laws gave them a heck of a lot more!

I'm so jealous that you got a time turner. I've been dying (and hinting to everyone) about how much I want some Harry Potter stuff!

Heh, a few years ago I got a HP-themed diary (Hedwig) that I refuse to use because it cannot be marred by my handwriting. I also got a calendar and an agenda that year. My sis spoilt me, just like she did this year ;) She said she wanted to buy me a wand, but it was a crappy miniature one made of plastic, not the official stuff.

Nevertheless, yay!

I loved The Other Boleyn Girl but had a tough time with The Constant Princess though I did love Henry and Katherine's love story. It does make you think.

Also, nice haul.

Mm, I enjoyed Arthur and Katherine more, but I did love the scheming, her strength, and... her constance, I guess. We'll see how I fare with the Boleyns. That one's about Anne, right?

OMG! I totally said the wrong name. I like Arthur/Katherine more too. Yikes! I never liked the Henry/Katherine stuff.

I liked her for the same reasons.

The Other Boleyn Girl is actually a lot about Mary. Her relationship with Henry, her life, and her take on everything Anne. It was great though.

LOL! Don't worry, all's forgiven ;P Kidding.

Hmm, I'm sure it will be very interesting nonetheless. I liked Gregory's writing style.
