Jólabókaflóð and other weather

Books I gave this Jólabókaflóð:

To younger niece:
Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older
Fang Girl by Helen Keeble
To older niece:
Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton
The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
To Nixie:
The River of Consciousness by Oliver Sacks
La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
(I think there must have been one more here???)
To Mungo:
What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe
Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction by Annalee Newitz
Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
To Neal:
The Girl With All the Gifts by M. R. Carey

In other weather news Mungo's flight back to Montreal got cancelled. His new flight is at 5 a.m. Saturday morning, with a three-hour layover in Newark. I hope he doesn't get stuck in Newark.
