Although I didn't officially participate this year due to personal issues Elf Is Not My Real Name made my morning with a gift of
. Thank you so much!! <3
My Secret Santa struck again and left me this arousing little gem

After reading the blurb I was kinda O.o but I absolutely loved Gus, and really, every single character in that book. I want to read TJ's whole library and then start at the beginning and read them all again.
I've also heard a lot of people say that they just can't read his stuff. I understand that, everything is not for everybody. Thank goodness we have so many to choose from. :)
A huge Thank You to Elf is not my Real Name for sending me "Safe in your fire' by Darien Cox! That book has been making eyes at me for ages! Dear Elf is not My Real Name - can you tell me whether you are my SS? Please?

He's not the only author that i have this problem with - John Inman is another whose comedy I just don't get
Thank you Suzy Snowflake, who gave me
!! I can't wait to read this! <3

I definitely get that, comedy is subjective. That's why I almost didn't read TLSH. I'm not a fan of OTT humor, at all. But it sure did work for me. :D

It's so amazing!!!
I want to say thank you to my secret santa I woke to this
I can't wait to start reading this book.

Do you want to join us, Karen? Or anyone else??
Tell me what date you have in mind and I can see how that works for me. Fridays and weekends are usually best for me because of our time difference.
Well, that's weird. I tried to reply to Amy twice but it would should what I replied when I posted. When I clicked edit, it was there. Did that to me this morning too. I hate system glitches, so annoying.Clearly, you have been a good girl Amy! ;) I loved Hexmaker.
Dear Super Sekrit Santa, Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of
! Unfortunately I received this book as a gift a few days ago from Santa's Secret Helper. I contacted Amazon and let them know that this was from an anonymous Super Sekrit Santa so I didn't know your identity. They were very helpful and said that were able to issue you a refund and keep your identity safe! So hopefully you will see the credit soon. Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts! XOXOXOXOXO! Emily

And I thought I had this one figured out. Guess I have to wait until the end of this exchange and hope my mysterious Santa / elves will reveal themselves to me.

RL can be a bit rough for me right now so I can't alway say for sure if I have the time or not. As soon as it looks like I can make it, I will let you know, okay?

Happened here yesterday. I just figured I'd forgotten to click on 'post' apparently I'm not as forgetful as I thought I was, lol.
Karen wrote: "You two figure this one out and let me know and I will do my best to be there...."How about you take a look at your calendar and see what would work for you and then we can come up with a date?

I'm a bit worried about the time it's set in, though. You know historicals aren't my favorite but I think this sounds too good to pass up

Right now January is looking good because I'm trying not to take any new ARCs so that I have time for my BRs and to read some of these amazing books that I've received here...there might be a few...just a few. I was thinking of something towards the end of the month for "Life After Joe" and maybe early February as in Feb. 2/3 for "The Secrets In My Scowl" so how about January 13/14 for "Listening to Dust" I mean really what could be better than starting a buddy read on Friday the 13th?

I'm hesitant to tell anyone how many books I got... I'm still totally overwhelmed! You guys are all AWESOME!!
Sounds good to me. If Lisa is okay with January 13/14 we can totally keep that in mind and I will do my best to keep that date.
Do you think Friday the 13th is a bad sign??
