Melissa, it sounds like your family is lucky to have you do the gift shopping for them! Interesting note about the Lawrence Hill title; I had no idea!

I hope your hospitalization was nothing too serious and that you made a fast recovery. I agree with your wish for a family tree for NEW YORK — I will pass your suggestion on to the publisher, and maybe they will incorporate it into the paperback edtiion or elsewhere.

Happy New Year!

I didn’t get any books for Christmas, even though I made a wishlist for my family to view, but bought books for my mom and sister. For my sister, I got The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. For my mom, I got
The Book of Negroes (in the US its published under Someone Knows my Name) by Lawrence Hill (he’s a Canadian writer and somehow the “n” word isn’t as blasphemous up here) and due to the fact that I was hospitalized for about 36 hours over Christmas, she finished it and really liked it. I have heard nothing but good things about this book.

I also want to thank Ann for her recommendation for New York by Edward Rutherfurd, as I managed to get a copy from the library fairly quickly and even though I am about 50 pages into the book, I am really enjoying it (I have read ahead and read a later chapter; probably will forget it by the time that I get to it in about a week). I have been fascinated by the history of NYC ever since I watched the Ric Burns documentary on the city that appeared on PBS about 10 years ago (I think it aired just after the attacks on 9/11). What I would really like is a family tree to see how the Masters and the Van Dyck families are connected.

Anyways, Happy New Year and wishing you and yours the best of 2010.
