'Print or Forward this Gift Announcement for [name]' - it just doesn't read like something exciting!! :D

I know right?! I was totally surprised and grateful-it was the sweetest way to start out my day. I adore that Smutty Elf! ;)

My lovely
Secret Santa
just went crazy on a shopping spree & spoiled me rotten. At the perfect moment too since today was a crappy day. The best part, the amazing messages Santa sent me with each book. I got some clues as well!Thank you many times over. Let this be your best Holiday season ever!

The only option is to return them to the account of the person who gifted them to you."I cannot gift these to someone else (another ARe rule), so I have asked ARe to return these books to the unknown gifter. Hopefully this Secret Elf can enjoy them or gift them to another reader...."
That's probably the one complaint I have about ARe, you get spoiled with Amazon C/S if you end up with a duplicate.

I love that name! Seriously, I don't remember all these creative, kickass names last year but I'm loving it. I have no idea how we'll top them next year!
And M'rella, I'm right behind you adding books too! Though I'm really thinking about going through mine and weeding out stuff I'll honestly probably never get to. If I can. Gah!
All of the books I sent were claimed (Amazon said so) and I've received three lovely gifts from my secret Santa! Luckily my first swap went without hitch!

No really I can't...ok, it might be because I keep stopping to read the pretty stories and lose track and then have to start all over again until I stop and buy more and lose track and have to start all over again and then I stop to read the pretty story...it's a vicious cycle I tell you...just wash, rinse and repeat, over and over and over...
Wow, I'm just over the moon with happiness and gratitude. This time it's the wonderful Hanukkah Harlot who's the culprit. Thank you so much for
, and I'm so excited! Cuz you know--DRAGONS!! :D
