Liz (Bugetta) (bugetta) | 92 comments My Secret Santa just gave me First and First, Duck Duck Ghost and The Deeper He Hurts. Thank you so much! You rock! I'm so excited to get started on these books and extra excited because I can listen to the audio versions of the first two (thank you whispersync!).

I also realized that means my first gift was from someone other than my secret santa, so thank you again to the generous helpful elf!

Melanie~~ (mcsc2008) | 103 comments I've received two goodies!

Secret Santa sent me Handle with Care by Josephine Myles Handle with Care by Josephine Myles! So great!! Can't wait to read this. It's been on my considering shelf for a while.

I also received a gift from Secret Elf, who I am guessing is different from Secret Santa. Same person or not, I'm very grateful for Merry Christmas, Mr. Miggles by Eli Easton Merry Christmas, Mr. Miggles by Eli Easton. This looks ADORABLE!

Thank you both for such generous gifts!!

I read this as an ARC and really liked it - good debut for a new series. One of those rare m/m books where the main characters are over 35 (well rare in most genres, especially the human). Yes, they're out there!
