You can kidnap me any time, lol!

Perfect it's always good to have willing victims, lol!

That's as far as the torture goes at my house. Unless hubby's home and there's a hockey game on but we've learned to compromise. I read and don't complain about the game and he watches the game and doesn't complain because I read. It's a match made in heaven.
Suzy Snowflake was my Secret Elf yesterday - thank you again for Glass Tidings!! :DToday The Fiction Addiction Elf sent me a bundle of joy via ARe - spacemen!!! =) ♥♥♥
Adrift: The Collection
Thank you for this! :D
My Santa sent me the BEST GIFT EVER!!! I got an Amazon voucher and since Santa was so good to me, I was able to buy 6-awesome books for my kindle.Seriously, BEST GIFT EVER!!!
Thank you Santa xxx
Not only I have books spilling out of my bookshelves, I have and iPad and EReader full of books, not to mention various external hard-drives and memory sticks and three laptops (one for travel, so all my books I buy while I travel are there, one is dying and I need to get my books off like ...last May, and then this one) with a bunch of books I desperately need to consolidate! Total book junkie *happy sigh*
Best thing - my hubby gets it :) He chuckles "Loading your gay porn again?" every time he sees ARe open on my computer.

@Karen Of course grab Josy and Lila but if I were you I'd borrow Santa's sleigh so you'll have room for any more riders you pick up and so you can make it around the world and here before I drink all this wine. :D

I've really enjoyed expanding my horizons this year with reading more fantasy and I just received another book I've been looking forward to from The Fiction Addiction Elf:
Chaos Magic that will take me fantasy reading into next year!Thank you!
ohhh! Chaos Magic - so delicious!Never mind the reviews that say there are loose ends and character issues or some such. That's why there are three books - it's all going to be tied together nicely in book three :)
Make sure to grab a prequel. There is a couple of characters that will give an additional insight later in the books.
Thank You, Secret Santa.I got L.B. Gregg's book.
I love L.B. Gregg's Simple Gifts. And I have always wanted to read this.

I wouldn't have been able to stop after just the first two books! Didn't you want to know how it all ends? IMO, it just got better and better. I really need to re-read this series soon, lol!

Well I read the first two back before the third was published, and once it came out I kept procrastinating because of nerves and the price of the ebook. Looking forward to reading all 3 right in a row. Might even be what I start my New Year with.
Woke up to two new books this morning
The Paper Magician and
Fighting Destiny. Thank you so much Secret Santa!!
I woke up to Midwinter Night's Dream
from (Not your SS) Smutty Elf. I feel very blessed this year! Thank you very much, (Not your SS) Smutty Elf!!

Thank you, whoever you are!!!
I stepped out for one day... one day... and I had to add way too many books to my TBR. Plus, I get kidnapping notifications. Which I'm more than happy to accept. I can use some reading time and good company. It's great to see all the Holiday Spirit around. Everyone's doing great. Hopefully, the missing Santas will show up soon.
