Anyta Sunday | 49 comments My Secret Santa is AMAZING! Not only do I get the best books ever (the most recent: If Only in My Dreams by Keira Andrews ) 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.

Thanks again!!

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.


message 1189: by Karen (new)

Karen (bookfanatic55) | 901 comments 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 Chasing the Dream by Andrew Grey 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?

RedL. | 24 comments Secret Santa is the sweetest!

I couldn't be happier with what I got, thank youuuu! I love you!!!

Menagerie (Menagerie, #1) by Rachel Vincent
Moonshot by Alessandra Torre
and
Reaping Havoc (Reaping Havoc, #1) by A.J. Rose

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.
