Those look great, they all do but I am really digging these names, they're making my day! "The Hanukkah Harlot" is my 2nd favorite so far, right behind "Namaste In Bed & Read Elf" but there are so many awesome names. I'm loving every bit of this! <3

message 689: by Lila (new)

Lila Hunter (hunterromances) | 273 comments Thank you so much, Mysterious Christmas Elf, for The Englor Affair (Sci-Regency #2) by J.L. Langley . Another one I want to read as soon as possible. :-)


message 690: by M'rella (new)

M'rella (mrella) | 799 comments OK... So.... I have to say I am very upset. And disappointed. And outright pissed.

I added ARe to all of my mailboxes as a safe sender. I even made them a priority where I could. What did I get in return? NOTHING. I still get their newsletters and favorite author announcements. But notifications? Nope. Not one!

On the other hand. I got three books today! THREE! *wiggles up to Mr. Reindeer to join his Christmas dance* =)

Came home from the gym to find my all time favorite, an incredible and wonderful Megan Derr; an author I am at odds with Harper Fox (her Brothers of the Wild North Sea is out-of-this-world good!) and everybody's dear Jordan L. Hawk lined up neatly in my ARe library :D

The Painted Crown (Unbreakable Soldiers #2) by Megan Derr Priddy’s Tale by Harper Fox A Christmas Hex (Hexworld #2.5) by Jordan L. Hawk

I wish I could use my SS or SE's alias to thank him/her for their generosity and thoughtfulness - it seems like they know my preferences very well, even if it's my own wishlist.

Anyway, long story short:
Dear SS (or SE, not sure what species you identify with ;))! THANK YOU so much, I really appreciate the gifts. You're the best! =)


message 691: by Jewel (last edited Nov 28, 2016 09:50AM) (new)

Jewel | 226 comments @ M'rella -- I'm pretty sure it's your email provider blocking the message...because ARe is not putting a valid sender on that particular email. They have valid senders on their other emails. The problem has been reported to ARe, but they haven't fixed it yet.

Gmail is one of the providers that does NOT block it, so that's how I know the email is being sent without a valid sender.


message 692: by K (new)

K (k-polipetl) | 86 comments M'Ella - I have exactly the same problem with ARe... no matter what I try I have never had a notification from them of a gift... I got a bit stroppy with them last year over it.. but still nothing!

Enjoy your goodies!!


message 693: by Juli (new)

Juli (mrsmarit) | 64 comments I got my first Secret Santa gift today via ARE. I wish they would email people and let them know.. but it's also like a great surprise.. like here's book for you.

Spencer Cohen, Book Two

Thanks santa.


message 694: by M'rella (new)

M'rella (mrella) | 799 comments PS Who said they love spanking in their books? Here is an Elf on a Shelf for you!




message 695: by M'rella (new)

M'rella (mrella) | 799 comments I have been visited by Santa's secret ninja elf! Yes, I am one of the lucky ones :D

Thank you for Victim of Love by Darien Cox - a totally new author for me.

Hugs and Happy Holidays to you, Santa's secret ninja elf! :D


message 696: by M'rella (new)

M'rella (mrella) | 799 comments @Jewel

I tried three different providers, gmail is one of them. Weird thing is, all the mail from them comes through except for notifications. I added a couple of addresses from which they send their mail, but still - not luck. I am sure they send out their notifications automatically, yet I haven't seen any from them. I just don't know what else to do with my emails.

I wonder.... I am going to try one more thing.


message 697: by Jewel (new)

Jewel | 226 comments I adore Darien Cox's books! Enjoy, M'rella!
