Nadine Bookaholic (nadinesobsessedwithbooks) | 198 comments I think we should do a birthday one that way we're gifting throughout the year and you'd receive books for Christmas and your birthday


Heather the Queen of (Smut)Books (queenofthebook) | 19 comments We have a whole year to come up with new names. I gotta admit mine wasn't very creative. A few people figured me out by my name itself. I'm thinking next year maybe something like "Rudolph's Kinky Butt Slut aka Tamed by Rudolph's Nose"

You should totally go with that ;-)

M'rella (mrella) | 800 comments We can do B-day ones regardless. I get regular updates from Elfster throughout a year :)

Ok but seriously I'll be remembering that one for sure. It's going to take more than a year to forget a name like that, lmao!!!

I vote yes, just so I can see people posting it to say thank you. It'll make me laugh every single time! :D

I see those every year but I'm afraid that theym ight not remember me from the gift exchange and be like O.o "WTF, who is this?"


message 1966: by Lisazj1 (new)

Lisazj1 | 1514 comments Maybe we could set up like a birthday exchange through elfster and a thread here to correspond? I'd be game for that.


message 1967: by M'rella (new)

M'rella (mrella) | 800 comments You can always send a message via Elfster to let them know who you are :)
But then we'll have to keep up with our Wish List and it's a Job (capital J). I had crazy time putting my wish list together @.@

Yep that's what I was thinking. With elfster you only get the notification throughout the year if you are following the person.

Lisazj1 | 1514 comments The lovely Gallic cheesy elf just gave me Off Base (Out of Uniform, #1) by Annabeth Albert , which I'm not embarrassed to admit caused me to give an ill-timed "OH HELL YEAH!" as my boss walked by. Worth it!!

Amanda Thank you so much to my wonderful SS. I received a copy of Prince of Thorns (The Broken Empire, #1) by Mark Lawrence and Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) by Leigh Bardugo as well as a beautiful metal feather bookmark. I can't wait to start both of these series. :)

I hope you enjoy this one Jewel. I loved the first book and will be reading the second one over the holidays so that Christelle and I can buddy read book 3 when I get back. I'd say you're welcome to join us but I think I'm getting to know you and I'm betting that you will power through these in no time since each book isn't very long (about 100 pages) and be done before I get back from Ontario. But we would still love to have you join us even just to let us know how you enjoyed the series. Happy reading!

Yeah, I suck at buddy reads... but we're still on for that one book :)

I got this whole series as gifts! So exciting!!! I'm still behind on ARCs, though, so none of my own TBR, yet..

Oh we are totally on for the Avril Ashton book if I have to come to your place and sit there and read it with you. I'll kidnap Ele and bring her with me. I know I need to do some heavy duty reading over the next 2 or 3 days because I've got some ARCs that I really want to have done before we leave for Ontario next week.
