*happy sigh* I love coming by this thread and reading, gives me the warm and fuzzies! :) Even if I don't post, I read it several times a day. You peeps are all awesome.
Same Lisa. Isn't in a fantastic way to get a little boost?
My Secret Elf gave me

Yes, he is, quite. Here, *hands you kitten* he gives the best snuggles. My dog is jealous, LOL.

I received
Song of the Lonesome Cowboy from Santa's secret ninja elf but our power was out yesterday through last night from the winds so Thank You! [I think I went to sleep at 8:00 (fell asleep reading) because power wasn't anticipated to be back on until 2:00 a.m.,earliest to bed in a long time!]

Mine hasn't claimed their gifts yet either! I sent through Amazon so I know when they are claimed. :( *small voice* I just want them to love them as much as I did when I was picking them out...

Have you sent them a nudge on Elfster? I had to do that with my person a couple of times.
My awesome Santa sent me two more books whilst I slept (classic Santa move!)

At the beginning (cos I had questions) I sent an anonymous message and then I sent an email following up a few days later. Not a peep. And now they have the Amazon emails. Not sure what else I can do...?

Sounds like you've done all you can. *hugs*
I'm not sure if my giftee figured it out but I'll leave a few clues for her ^_^1. We have never crossed paths
2. We have no common friends
3. You're a part of less than 5 groups
4. You're a mm fan
5. Eiffel Tower
I just got two gifts!

Right?? The reactions are half the fun! At least for me.
Luckily though, she finally answered. I hope y'all get some acknowledgement soon. :)
OMG !! After a perfect evening having fun, I come back home and what is patiently waiting on my library ??
I have to keep mentioning : no message from ARe...but for sure, THANKS a lot to my sender for such a great book...because, yeah, it's Santino Hassel !!!!
Secret Elf gave me
. Thank you - it looks very cute and I do like me some GFY! Thank you for the clues to your identity. Now I have to do some sleuthing.
I am also still waiting for my giftee to acknowledge receipt of their gift or even accept it (it was a Kindle, so I'll get an email letting me know when it's been accepted). I really hope nothing's wrong and that they're okay.

PS. I got the gift announcement from ARe just fine on this one. The sender was All Romance Ebooks. The last one that was from them (that went to my spam folder) was sent from "unknown sender". *shrugs* Heck if I know. I'm just happy I'm getting the announcement so I can thank peeps.

Slowing down is impossible at this point. It's only going to get worse the closer we get to the deadline. Just hang in there, and let your TBR be happy. I think I'm adding about 3-5 books per day to mine. :-P

Good to know! I find that I keep adding more books to my wish list as I see people share what they've been receiving. The bottomless wish list - there are definitely worse things in life! ;-)
