I'd need to double the number of releases for 2017 in order to cover all the shopping. And don't let me get started on the state of my poor TBR.
I love Megan Derr too, enjoy your precious. :-)
Yay - sat down after dinner to TWO presents from my Secret Santa!! And from a couple of favorite authors too! =)Thank you so much for All He Wants for Christmas by Jill Shalvis and Royally Screwed by Emma Chase! I'm looking forward to so happy reading time soon!
So I decided to take a few minutes before bed and see what goodies everyone was getting and check my e-mail and lo & behold I have an e-mail from ARe letting me know that 'A Completely Different Elf' has left me a gift
I'm not even sure I have this on a wishlist anywhere, but it's RJ Scott and I love RJ Scott. Thank you so much 'A Completely Different Elf'.Add another name to the elf list Josy and this ones completely different...ok, I'm giggling like a 12 year old because this elf name amuses me to no end...me likey!

The vacation or all the pretty prezzies? ;) I agree with both. It isn't a choice at my company, but like I said, I'm not complaining.

which is totally an awesome holiday movie...not sure what holiday since it has Santa, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy and sandman in it. So I guess it's sort of a multi-purpose movie :)
*crazy happy dance* I know this book is not about Laurent and Damen. But I am just as happy!
Green but for a Season showed up in my inbox today, send by A Misfit Elf!!!
Love it! Thank you :D :D :D
OMFG - it is going to be a very different type of Christmas at our house this year, and I cannot wait. My Secret Santa - "Sugar Pants The Hot Elf" just sent me this:
- I frigging adore this series.Thank you SO much Sugar Pants!

Karen wrote: "Lisazj1 wrote: "Karen wrote: "Lisazj1 wrote: "Karen wrote: "So I decided to take a few minutes before bed and see what goodies everyone was getting and check my e-mail and lo & behold I have an e-m..."I just realized GR stole my answer to you above, when I LOLed at the completely different elves! They're cute. :) The one munching the tinsel is my favorite. <3
Karen wrote: "I know but it's got me picturing an elf that looks like this......"Awww!! They are sooo cute :)
Christelle wrote: "Ariana wrote: "LOL. So many pretty names!"There should be a vote to the best elves' names ;)"
I second this, Christelle! Although I would have a hard time picking just one name as the best. All of them are great :)
Okay seriously, I thought I was done; we're closer to the ending date of the event. But apparently Mysterious Christmas Elf thought that I could use a little something to brighten up my Thursday and gave me this
Thank you so much!!

It's awesome and Huge Jackman is the voice of the Easter Bunny...I kid you not. I like the tinsel munching elf, but my fav is the one bouncing on the present because that's like the equivalent of shaking the box to see what's inside and it may or may not be something I'm notorious for doing ;)

You need to watch the movie it's so awesome!!! (that is if you haven't already seen it or even if you have. I've watched it several times myself).
Karen wrote: "You need to watch the movie it's so awesome!!! (that is if you haven't already seen it or even if you have. I've watched it several times myself).."No, I haven't watched it yet but I've made a note to do so :) It looks and sounds great!

Karen, you would be so frustrated in my house. I totally wrap things in different size boxes from what they came in and weight down the light items, using....books of course. And newspaper so that nothing moves at all. :D I make my boys nuts, because they shake boxes too. *looks smug*
Got mine when I came home today :) 'A Northern Light' by Jennifer Donnelly, plus 'Burn for me' Ilona Andrews, and 'Firelight' Kristen Callihan... thanks my Secret Santa! *hugs*
