Book 1: Amigurime
The thing I love about this book is that it is a pick and choose pattern book. You can look through the book and find what you need for different people depending on what you want and there is no right or wrong. You just pick what you need for your person and go from there (as opposed to being limited to just a pattern). The possibilities are endless!
Admittedly, I'm REALLY excited about this book and can't wait to own my own copy! I'd love to get geeky and nerdy with this book. I mean, how cool would it be to have Kirk and Picard duke it out while Date and Spock discuss logic and Ryker and Bones have beer together. Or how about the Firefly crew? Or all 12.5 Doctors? Or Harry Potter characters? I mean, the list goes on for the fun things.
Book 2: Crochet for the Kitchen
This book is pretty self explanatory. Lots of things for the kitchen (obviously). I've already made a couple of lovely pot holders. There's some vintage pieces that I'd love to do and modern counterparts.
I love this book because of the different patterns really. I like having more than the basic dishcloth or teapot cozy from the 1970's or before.
