I'm just going to go ahead and tell everybody, my stock answer to the question "did you give me this" or "are you my SS" is going to be, "I can neither confirm or deny" and that way I'm not lying to anybody. I did a whole lot of lying last year, so I'm figuring out strategy now, LOL!

Why do you think I'm planning, LOL? You're the only person I didn't lie to. ;)
Karen wrote: "It wasn't lying Lisa it was just a bit of tactical diversion, I know because maybe I did a little of it myself ;)"I like your thinking Karen! This way I don't have to remember who I told what. I have problems with that! I can't wait. :)
I have to remember not to reveal my identity until after all the gift giving has been done, but maybe I will drop some hints in the notes.....
Oh I will drop hints.
Seems like ARe still doesn't send me an e-mail when I receive a gift. I got one two days ago from my sweet Christelle and I didn't know about it until she asked me if I got it. That means I don't get any names or attached messages. The book just appears in my library without me knowing about it. I emailed their customer service about it but haven't gotten an answer yet.Oh, and that's the book Christelle chose for me :)

I got a gift through ARe earlier this year and no email then either. I asked their customer support back then and again now but I didn't get an answer :/

Love that cover!

And on topic, I'm pretty sure I've always gotten e-mails from ARe when books have been gifted to me, mind you there's been more than one occasion when I got the e-mail long after I knew about the book. Better late than never, I guess?

So you're saying I can pretend that I'm in counseling because we all suffer from the same affliction? I like the way you think.

Truth.
I have been looking forward to this since last year's round ended! And I am super happy that so many of my friends here are participating! And even more awesome is the person whose name I have has very similar reading tastes to me! That doesn't narrow down the possibilities too much, though, thankfully. Heh.
Mod
Yep, same with mine. :)Am4u ❀ ~ AprilMarie4u ~ ❀ wrote: "Ooo, that looks sooo good! My tbr pile is already groaning, lol ;)"
