Now I need to go take care of my precious. Download is, convert it to epub, file it, put it on asap-to read shelf, send it to my iBooks, drool on it a little.... you know, the usual :)

Brothers was a suggestion from Santa. I think it's a conspiracy to get me to read Haper Fox since I mentioned before it was a new-to-me author. Now I have two books to read. :-)

Oh, that's good to know. I really enjoyed the first book in the series. Now I have the other two.


message 1726: by Lila (new)

Lila Hunter (hunterromances) | 273 comments It looks like the elves got into a shopping frenzy overnight. I loved all the names, but really, I don't need more books in my TBR. I think my hubby is going to change the password to my accounts before I decided to go on a frenzy of my own. He gets scared since I buy my own X-Mas presents and then put his name on them. :-P


message 1728: by Lisazj1 (new)

Lisazj1 | 1514 comments OMG, I've been decorating for a while and just checked my email. Smutty Elf just spoiled me rotten! *like I wasn't bad enough already* Wow, thank you so, so much Smutty Elf! That so sweet of you!!

I got surprised with such awesome books, Hanging The Stars (Half Moon Bay #2) by Rhys Ford The Station by Keira Andrews Enemy of My Enemy (The Executive Office, #2) by Tal Bauer and Reading the Signs by Keira Andrews So excited for all of these!!

I agree with Christelle, the email idea is brilliant, I wish I'd thought of it! There's always next year, yeah? <3

I only read Prince of Thorns but I really liked it, I need to get back to that series. Smutty Elf is spoiling everybody *and has great taste in books*! Enjoy Mandapanda!

Enemy of My Enemy (The Executive Office, #2) by Tal Bauer is really good. And Hanging The Stars (Half Moon Bay #2) by Rhys Ford has really good reviews. I listened to the first and loved it. Smutty Elf does have really good taste. Enjoy!

Smutty Elf does gift great books, indeed ;) Really eager to read what she sent me. As for you, well, what can I say : I loved The Station by Keira Andrews . As for Enemy of My Enemy (The Executive Office, #2) by Tal Bauer , I know you're going to love it : hurry up because I'm sure there's going to be a group set up soon to read book 3 once it's released and you have to join it : it will be so fun :-)
