My Secret Santa is AMAZING! Not only do I get the best books ever (the most recent:
) but (s)he is witty and snappy with their messages! ;) Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SS. I'm so working on uncovering your identity that I might say a proper thank you!!!
P.S. If you are reading (and I hope you see this) I love your clues to who you might be... but I'm STILL completely clueless. :P HAHA.
I just checked my ARE library and found
. I think it was from my Secret Santa, if so Thank You! This looks like a fun read, can't wait to get started.

the author has a second book coming out next year There Will Be Other Summers (no actual cover yet) I am so all over this one.
My secret santa gave me these
!!!I don't know who you are but know that i'm cyber hugging you right now. Thank you so much, i'm devouring them already xx
I must have been a super good girl this year, because my Secret Santa just surprised me with another wonderful gift
!! And despite the clues, I still don't know who you are (I spent a fair amount of time determined to figure it out today, but no such luck yet). Thank you so much for your amazing generosity!!!
What a lovely surprise! A Hanukkah Harlot gifted me Walk With Me. I love CC books, especially when I need something sweet and hot and now I can get the audio version! Thank you so much, Hanukkah Harlot!

Well.. I woke to another present this morning... a copy of N. R. Walker's Exchange of Hearts Thank you very much!!
(alas no note (stupid ARe) so not sure if this was from Santa or a stray elf!)
I'm beginning to wonder if my giftee got any of their gifts. I haven't heard anything back. :SI guess I'll keep trying.
Woke up to more love from Super Sekrit Santa with

Secret Santa you treat me so right!!! Thanks SO MUCH for Merry Christmas, Mr. Miggles. I love Easton's Christmas books, in fact they are probably always my favorite Christmas books! I guess I have been good (or outstandingly naughty ;-p) Thanks again!!

Awesome book!!!!"
Also an awesome person. I met her at GRL this year and ohmygod!!! The nicest person ever. She thanked me for reading her books, not because it was me or anything like that. She would have said that to anyone because she just seems genuinely surprised and flattered that people read her books. And we sat and chatted for a few minutes and I was all cool and chatty and when she left to go to an authors meet & greet, I was all "ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!!!" and totally fangirling.
I got up to this morning to be greeted by an e-mail from ARe letting me know that a certain Pixie Elf left a copy of
on my shelf for me.Thank you dear Pixie Elf I love Andrew Grey's books and it was incredibly sweet of you to drop this off for me, but I am wondering are you new to the neighborhood or are you an elf with more than one alias?
Holy cow I'm being spoiled! Checked my ARe library and discovered yet another one! Thank you secret elf or santa for
xx
Secret Santa is the sweetest!I couldn't be happier with what I got, thank youuuu! I love you!!!
and
I only have a tiny problem, and I hope you can help me with it...I had already received Reaping Havoc from Dirty Kinky Elf...I would gladly gift it to anyone else who might enjoy it, so that the gift keeps giving...any suggestion?
Also, Menagerie is not available for Dutch customers, so I can't redeem the present. Should I contact customer service like Amazon suggests? I am so sorry SS, your gifts are awesome, please know that I am very happy and grateful for them!

I know if you got the books gifted to you from ARe you can put in a support ticket to the help desk and they'll give you a credit to pick something else and I'm sure that your Secret Santa would totally endorse this plan. They meant for you to have these gifts and it's very kind of you to want to share but that should be a last resort. I'm also pretty sure if the books came from Amazon you can do the same thing. Both companies have excellent help desk and will fix this within a matter of a few hours if no faster.

Thank you so much Karen, then helpdesk it is. In my mind I was going to elaborate gift-it-forward plans, but this is indeed the easiest way :-)

Lucky you Karen!! She is one of my very favorite authors too. If I ever got the chance to meet her, I'm sure my brain would shut down, and fangirling is all that would come out. O_O

I managed to be a little calm and collected until after we were done talking but internally I was like a 5 year old on Christmas morning.
