Lisazj1 | 1514 comments Wow, so I should find out who's been spreading those rumors about me being good *side-eyes Karen, Piper & Lila* because I owe them big!! But they can't have any of my books, just sayin'. ;)

A completely sweet Just another CyberMonday Elf gave me Dirty Secret (Cole McGinnis, #2) by Rhys Ford and Listening To Dust by Brandon Shire which I'm not ashamed to admit made me squeal *coughalittlecough* out loud when I saw it. Thank you so much!

Then El Duende *love that!* gifted me with The Pillar by Kim Fielding ! I'm very excited about that because I love me some Kim Fielding, thank you!!

And The Gallic cheesy elf gave me Everything Changes (Resilient Love #1) by Melanie Hansen , thank you thank you!! I cannot wait to read it.

It's a freaking embarrassment of riches, I can't think of a more wonderful problem to have! I want to read everything first! :)

I have my guess too but I'm trying not to out any of the elves as they're gifting multiple people. I bet I'm right though. :D

LMAO, ok listen. Apparently, sarcasm doesn't translate well here or you're deliberately ignoring it * <------ I vote this* because I love you and all, but you're just not that good an actress. Toe-tapping and staring innocently at the sky will only get you so far.

So no igloos. If I come North into the snow, I'm staying with you! ;)

Done.

I didn't even look to see what the book was...just free...

Lori | 79 comments My Secret Elf just gifted me Gays of Our Lives (Queers of La Vista, #1) by Kris Ripper . I love Kris Ripper's writing and am excited to start on a new series. Thank you Secret Elf.


message 782: by M'rella (new)

M'rella (mrella) | 799 comments Thanks, Jewel!

It works now. Took me some serious tweaking. It's sent from an "unknown sender", basically with an empty field, no wonder it all goes anywhere but inbox! If ARe could put their domain in the sender's field, it would make our lives so much easier!

Yep, that is precisely what I was talking about. There is no from address at all, which is no wonder so many providers get rejecty with it.

~ Lei ~ Reading Is An Adventure ~ (leilanilives2read) | 345 comments I've been completely spoiled and overwhelmed by my Secret Santa (yes I'm all over the place in my reading likes!):
Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale Wicked Gentlemen | Custom Fit (Tailor Made, #2) by Josephine Myles Custom Fit | 24/7 (The Subs Club, #4) by J.A. Rock 24/7 | Skin Deep (Fae, #1) by S.W. Vaughn Skin Deep | Provoked (Enlightenment, #1) by Joanna Chambers Provoked | Priddy’s Tale by Harper Fox Priddy’s Tale

Then, Mrs. Santa (not my SS) sent What It Looks Like by Matthew J. Metzger What It Looks Like that had gotten added last minute to the wishlist from your recs.

And then, from Hanukkah Harlot, I received Not My Father's Son by Alan Cumming Not My Father's Son (which will probably be a heartbreaker of a read).

THANK YOU!!!! To all who have blessed me with this embarrassment of riches today and over this exchange. I wish I had more time to just read. Someday!

message 796: by krissi (new)

krissi (krissikissie) | 14 comments "Mrs. Santa not Your SS" sent me a $5 Amazon Gift Card!!!

the note was so lovely, i brought a tear to my eyes...seriously.

"You are the bestest type of friend anyone could ever hope for. Thank you for your friendship." :*)

this gives me a huge idea as to who it could be...so i'm off to the other thread to make my guess on this gift (even though i know they're not my assigned Secret Santa).


Heather K (dentist in my spare time) (dentistinmysparetime) | 2091 comments Mod
Another surprise popped into my ARe library!! This time it's Victorian Holiday Hearts: a Boxed Set, which looks AMAZING!!! I wish I knew who it was from! Love you all!
