My grandpa is sending me Christmas money ( and I can't get over how sweet that is. Last year he was sick in the hospital and he still managed to send me Christmas money. It made me cry.) We have this fabulous, giant Japanese book store called Kinokunia at Dubai Mall, and I am an absolute addict as I find books there that nowhere else has.

I would love to give books as Christmas presents, but my daughters aren't big readers and my husband would rather read online.
