Secret Santa gift exchange! discussion

Thanks to everyone for listening and caring and saying your kinds words for my mom, I and Martin it does mean so much to me 🎅🏻

Thank you Secret Santa!!

I really needed Tempting the Bluestocking because I have Book 1 and couldn't possibly start that without reading this prequel. :)

Thanks Mel. After suffering for two days, I'm feeling much better now. About time. I was really woozy and bored because I can neither read nor listen since I can't concentrate. *sigh*

Anyhow, I'm on the mend and feeling much better. Thanks for the care love. Love you! <3

Lisa, thanks for worrying for me. But I'm on the mend now. It's a tropical country which I live in and I don't do well with heat so I get heat strokes at least twice a year. *sigh*

But feeling much better and chirpier! Shiny new books!!! So thankful for the gifts! <3

I am a little speechless right now. My Secret Santa went ahead and gifted me my all remaining wish list (nine books and that is not counting the two Santa already sent me earlier). Thank you amazingly generous person you are an inspiration.

I am off to share more joy with my giftee.

I will post the books I got in the separate post.

An American Marriage


Squared Away

Exile


Ducks, Newburyport

How to Belong with a Billionaire


How to Blow It with a Billionaire



Miscalculated - nine books all together lol. But yeah basically all my wish list. Santa you rock.

Zuzu absolutely !

Sirius, How wonderful!! I, too, am blown away at the generosity of the people on this exchange.

That is so awesome! The generosity of the group's members is startling. I love how book people really "get it" about the joys of receiving more books than you can read in a day, or week, or whatever your speed is.

I agree. Thrown off the Ice was so unique and beautiful. It’s on my top list this year.

Tequila-elf gifted me Christmas Angel. thanks I love Christmas books.

I'm a little scared to read Thrown Off the Ice, tbh, though I did add it to my TBR list. It seems like it's going to be kind of sad? I'm picturing it being bittersweet, with some tears in between?

I don’t want to spoil anything. But it is very emotional yes. Check out my review. It’s just a tiny review but it will give you an idea. 😭

Me, too. You guys are much braver than me!

I was super busy these days and didn't get a chance to come here and show you what a couple of generous elves left in my inbox. I'll fix that now thought!

Thank you so much Ivy Mistletoe for the gift card! You started my Secret Santa exchange for this year in a great way! I'll have so much fun picking what to get with it!
PS: It's for riptide, any suggestions, elves?

And after that excitement, Grateful Elf also payed me a visit and left me a great prezzie:
Thank you!! I have read so many raving reviews about this story! I hope mine will be along the same lines ;-) I can't wait to start reading!

Thank you so much my two mystery elves! xxx

Oh my! More goodies today. You all are out of control but I love it! Thank you Santa’s Jilted Lover for Dirty Mind and Lone Star. So excited! More Josh Lanyon to try and I’m anxious to read more Roe Horvat as I have only read one. I’m also sorry this happened to you:

Can you believe it! That man came to me late one night unloaded his sack and left me nothing but crumbs. That bum! I am starting to think he was only into me for my cookie. LOL

(Too funny! 😂)

I'm the biggest chicken alive when it comes to angst but I have some GR friends who manage to tempt me no matter how bad it sounds. :) This book is the very best going in knowing as little as possible but I will say that having read it, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. <3

WOW!! Oh so, so happy! My Secret Santa sent me an Amazon Gift Card! I want my Secret Santa to know how grateful I am.
Any books that I will get keep giving and giving as I have a Little Free Library that my City allowed me to put up in our community park.
I put all my read books in there with a note, “Always a Gift, Never for Sale.” People read the books and have been returning them for several go rounds, because sharing is caring.

This series is amazing. For me it started off slow but before I knew it I was totally immersed.
