Hey Guys!
I hope you're all having a great week, and looking forward to the weekend.
I know I had said a few posts ago that I planned to do a "What I got for Christmas Post", but I changed my mind and decided just to post a Christmas book haul like last year instead.
My family all decided this year to do small gifts for Christmas, as we just decided none of us needed to be buying big gifts this year, and we wanted to focus on other aspects of Christmas than just gifts this year.
However, that meant I received many many small presents, and I didn't want this post to be so long that anyone would be bored reading it, and since books were mainly what I received anyways, I did just decided to share the books with you all, and not everything else.
I want to preface this by saying that I did receive quite a few books for Christmas this year. My lovely TBTB Santa sent me a few, my best friend bought me a couple, my family bought me a couple, and my hubby took advantage of the Book Outlet Black Friday Sale, the Indigo bonus points promotion, and as well he cashed in a ton of his Swag Bucks to buy me books from Indigo and Amazon this year.
So while I definitely received a ton of books, I promise that he didn't spend nearly as much as what it looks like, and I'm definitely not intending this post to come across as bragging, I'm just really thankful and excited for the books I received, and I wanted to share them with you all.

First thing, I received two beautiful cookbooks. My hubby purchased the Eat Like A Gilmore cookbook for me, and my sister bought me this adorable Disney Princess Tea Party Cookbook. Lol you can tell how well they both know me.
The rest of the books I've split into three categories: Inspirational Fiction, Adult Fiction, and Young Adult Fiction.
First up are the Inspirational Fiction Books.
