Sorry everyone for taking over this thread like this!!

"Secret Santa has sent you the eBook Merry Christmas, Mr. Miggles for you to download from All Romance Ebooks at your convenience.

A note from Secret Santa: Merry Christmas!!"



Thank you, my precious Secret Santa! I was very curious about this book, it seems to be on everyone's list this year :)

However, this Christmas event started to resemble an overstretched Hanukkah :D NOT that I am complaining! lol

**blushing** I'm losing track about all our BR coming. We will need to stay in touch so I don't read one of the selected books on my won, like I did last time (once again, sorry for that, Josy !!) It's ben tooo long since we did a BR together :-)

LOL!! Thanks, sweet Christelle!! I appreciate this! And I've already promised that I will come visit you (I still don't know how that happened, lol)!! We can happy dance together then :D

Are you all gettin' your kink on without me? leave the room for 5 minutes and I miss all the fun...damn.

Christelle wrote: "like I did last time (once again, sorry for that, Josy !!)..."

LOL! Don't worry about it!! Honestly, I can't even remember what books it has been anyway. I just remember that we wanted to read it together. But I'm not better! I forgot at least two BRs with my lovely twin monster. So yeah... You all need to remind me constantly :)

[RedL.]

YEAHHH!
A wonderful gift from A Cheerful Happy Elf, the very wanted

So happy and so grateful!! I got clues as well...this Elf seems to have such eclectic tastes...I am never going to guess I am afraid, but I share them :-)

And dropping some hints to my giftee, if she is still checking this thread: we never crossed path before on GR and I am not from US

That is tempting. I shall continue to buy lottery tickets because who knows right? It could happen ;)

[Josy]

Yes, it could, Karen! And wouldn't it be awesome :)

[Elisabeth]

I...think I got my gift? I'm doing more than one exchange so I'm not sure which one gave which. I've gotten Threshold and Stormhaven by Jordan Hawk from ARe and Never Let You Go by Katy Regnery and Widdershins by Jordan Hawk from Amazon. I'm not sure which books were for which exchange. So sorry! But thank you so much, whoever you are. I am thrilled with all my new ebooks!

[Josy]

Just before going to bed I checked ARe one last time and look what I got: :) Thank you so much my secret Santa / elf for gifting me this book!! I'm very very happy!!!

Good night and sweet dreams to you all :)

edit: Elfster revealed my secret elf! Thank you Gallic cheesy Elf (I love that name as well!!) You are the sweetest ~hugs~

[Ariana (mostly offline)]

Thank you dear Gallic Cheesy Elf for the wonderful "Captive Prince". I'm so excited about it! :) *clapping her hands in wild anticipation*

I think somebody lied to me when he said Christmas is only one day a year. Well, he didn't know about this fantastic group, because, with you all, those last few days have been Christmas all over again.

My library now contains : - Thanks to an anonymous gifter (send me a clue on Elfster : I so love to solve puzzles, even if I'm hopeless to)
And also - Thank you, Suzy Snowflake : you make my days, that's for sure. I've just finished : It was sooooo good : a great Christmas read :-)

You've read the ones I really loved (bar the last two that I haven't read). I found Bear & Otter exhausting as well. And Burn? - don't go there :(

[Karen]

Ohmygod!!! This is hazardous to one's health. I added this to my wishlist because it just came out today and Harper Fox!!! and ARe just sent me a notice that a certain Gallic cheesy elf put in on my shelf and now I'm rhyming and crying and hyperventilating and damn you. You silly elf I would hug you if I could. Thank you so much.

I got my first book today. Thank you so much for getting me this book. I can't wait to read it during the break. I also don't think I've read any of her books so I'm looking forward to this.

I still think the name Gallic Cheesy Elf seems delicious. It keeps reminding me of the garlic fries Tara Lain often mentions in her books. :-P

And Harper Fox is another author I haven't read yet.

You haven't read Harper Fox? I don't understand. We need to fix this. Christelle, Josy and I are going to Buddy Read in the new year. It might be my favorite. It's also a good one to start with because it's a shorter book. If you're interested. We would certainly welcome you. Anyways, check it out and ponder it.

[Vicki]

I'm so excited, I came home and found out my secret santa sent me another one The Understatement of the Year! I can't wait to read it...THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

You know I can't resist to added another book to my TBR. The blurb sounds interesting, but a bit angst-filled. I guess I can use some reading company as a distraction.

[Isaiah]

Guys!!! My SS struck again. I logged in to my ARe account to show off to my friend the books I had already gotten and there were three more issues of Lumberjanes just waiting for me. It is safe to say I love my SS. Thank you so much. You have truly made my holiday season.

[Fran]

Dirty Kinky Elf! Thank you so, so much for !! This one looks like a lot of fun!
How sweet and generous of you to send me this wonderful gift <3

And I also read [book:How To Be A Normal Person|2554..."

HTBANP, of course, had some quote-worthy lines:

(view spoiler)[“Yes, Gus, because a Ford Taurus screams class,” Casey said, sounding amused.
“It does,” Gus insisted. “Did you know there are message boards on the Internet devoted to Ford Tauruses? I should know. I’m on one of them now. I have conversations with other Ford Taurus enthusiasts.” Which, in hindsight, was something he wished he’d never admitted out loud.
Casey grinned. “Oh really. What’s your username on this message board?”
Gus narrowed his eyes. “Something perfectly normal and not weird at all.”
“Cool, man. What is it?”
“TauruSaurus Rex,” Gus said. “And I really wish I’d thought of a different name now.”
“Dude,” Casey said in awe. “How the hell do you come up with these things?” https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7671...

AND

“He put his finger guns away. He should not be allowed to carry weapons of mass humiliation.” https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7663... (hide spoiler)]

I was also trying to read different kinds of characters this year and this was the first or second asexual character in a book I'd read and I found it educational (in a non-lecturing kind of way).

Awesome quotes are completely awesome and make me want to hug Gus and re-read immediately! *sigh* Same for me. I thought there would be nothing for me in a book with an asexual character, you know? How would I identify or connect but when I am wrong, I am wrong in a BIG way. It was flat out amazing!

OMG (view spoiler)[I had to reread the cable installer ladies Mitzi/Mitzy passages several times. Oh Gus! He didn't need the internet anymore. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie~~]

Popped in to say THANK YOU to a Dirty Kinky Elf (Not your SS) for sending me Dreaming of You.

Thank you so much!! I can't wait to read it.

You are awesome!!!

Just got a surprise from the CUTEST ELF. It was .
That made my day. ☺️
