Yesterday I let The Chainsaw Gang hang out here to practise their harmonies, unveiling the sixth verse of their Number One contender The Twelve Deaths of Christmas and letting you in on what some of the gang want for Christmas. Today they're getting out the bagpipes (it's that 'Four Wheezers wheezing' line that makes me imagine this song accompanied by loud piping) to play you the seventh verse and the rest of the gang will be telling you what bookish presents they're looking forward to.
The Twelve Deaths of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A corpse hanging from a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Two werewolves howling
And a corpse hanging from a pear tree.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three zombies snarling
Two werewolves howling
And a corpse hanging from a pear tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Four Wheezers wheezing
Three zombies snarling
Two werewolves howling
And a corpse hanging from a pear tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Five buzzing saws
Four Wheezers wheezing
Three zombies snarling
Two werewolves howling
And a corpse hanging from a pear tree.
On the six day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Six yetis freezing
Five buzzing saws
Four Wheezers wheezing
Three zombies snarling
Two werewolves howling
And a corpse hanging from a pear tree.
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Seven Templars fighting
Six yetis freezing
Five buzzing saws
Four Wheezers wheezing
Three zombies snarling
Two werewolves howling
And a corpse hanging from a pear tree.
My question to the Chainsaw Gang
As Christmas is rushing towards us and this is a Christmas tour could you tell me which books you're looking forward to receiving as presents this year?

Lots of catching up reading. Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon, White Cat by Holly Black, Dead-tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan, The next Witchfinder book by Will Hussey and Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins. I’m also researching all things Tudor so am reading Wolf Hall right now and have a tall stack of books on the Elizabethan age.

I’m looking forward to getting some more graphic novels. I love The Walking Dead by Kirkman et al, and there are some 2000AD compilations that I’ve dropped some not-too-subtle hints about. The best present I could get is one that I can give myself: finishing book five, Changeling: Zombie Dawn, in time to deliver it to my publishers by deadline date. Hey, I had to get a plug in somewhere, right?
Alex Bell
There are so many books on my wish list! Near the top are: Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler, Ash by Malinda Lo, The Silver Locket by Margaret James, and Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.
Competition
The gang isn't all take take take, where's my present Santa though, they also love to give. They're offering one commentor a huge Christmas present, The Chainsaw Library, which consists of a signed copy of a book from all 11 of The Chainsaw Gang. Just leave a comment on this post before 1am GMT January 1st 2011 to be entered into the draw. Please note this contest is only open to those with a UK postage address.
Tomorrow stop by The Bookzone for Boys for the eighth day of the tour.
