With the holidays (finally) over, I want to know: What books did you give? What books did you get? What books are you going to buy with your gift cards or the $10 you found in that winter coat you only wear on New Year's Eve? DO TELL.

As for me, I gave [the *Atlas Obscura* book](https://amzn.to/2j29k4c?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (it's *awesome*, and great for those moments where you only have ten minutes and want to read something diverting; definitely get the hard copy and not an e-book); [John le Carré's memoir ](https://amzn.to/2iBgY6Vl?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)*The Pigeon Tunnel,* which I was relieved to note my father hadn't already gotten for himself; the [new Roxane Gay book *Difficult Women* ](https://amzn.to/2j2cHZh?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(which I am stealing from my sister when she's done with it; she *also* got [*The Notorious RBG*](https://amzn.to/2j2nQZT?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), from our parents); [*Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South*](https://amzn.to/2ixkz82?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is HUGE and gorgeous;[ *A Week in Winter*,](https://amzn.to/2iBdXDH?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) for my Maeve Binchy-loving grandmother; and[ *The Big Book of Girl Power*](https://amzn.to/2iBbusS?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) for my goddaughter (who LOVES superheroes). I was lucky enough to receive two cookbooks (which I always LOVE to get), [one based on *The Chew* ](https://amzn.to/2j2l9Yl?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(I LOVE YOU CARLA), which looks quite good for easy apps and nibbly bits, and [*Mozza at Home*, which is just gorgeous](https://amzn.to/2i80xhe?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

What about you?
