Sarah (is clearing her shelves) (sarahjf1984) Thank you to the Sweltering Elf for a last minute surprise book delivery of One Night with her Roommate (One Night novellas, #5) by Noelle Adams , I've been wanting to read that one for ages.

ETA: I may break my personal rule and read this despite it's not 'the next book' that needs to be read for library due dates/BR dates.

I did sprinkle some kindle goodness on you, but I am not your SS, sorry :/

Besides, I am still waiting for mine, too!

Let's throw a party! I bet our SS will notice us then :D

LOL, I'm pretty sure being off the naughty list isn't a requirement for this group or I suspect there would be precious few books given! *side-eyes.....a lot of people*

Hey Wende, I think there are at least two Karen's participating in the SS Exchange and since sadly I have to admit I was not the one to send you this thoughtful gift I'll assume that it was Karen H (ironically I am also Karen H, I just don't use the H here on GR). I hope you enjoy it.

Salsera1974 | 48 comments Santa's Asian Elf, who has revealed herself to be a delightful elf named Jasmine, sent me a final gift: In From the Cold (The CASTOFFS, #1) by J.T. Rogers . Thank you, Jasmine! I can't wait to read it!

I don't want to say anything but, Santa's Asian Elf was actually me, I was the one sending you

Trasmundo Escape (Transmundo, #1) by Varian Krylov and Falling Down by Eli Easton

I did not send that one though. So maybe both Jasmine and I used the same name, coincidentally??

♛primadonna♛ (lavenderbird22) My secret santa got me another gift!

Point of No Return (Turning Point, #1) by N.R. Walker

Shaz Wow, am I a spoilt girl! I logged into my email account only to find a treasure trove of goodies for me. I'm really not sure what I've done to deserve this, so all I can say is THANK YOU! You've all made my Christmas a lot brighter.

From SS #2 I received:
Safe Haven by Caitlin Ricci Pansies (Spires Universe) by Alexis Hall Just Drive (Anchor Point #1) by L.A. Witt AND Into You by Jay Northcote

See why I feel spoilt? And that's not all!

There was also a gift from Little Austrian Christmas Elf
Freckles by Amy Lane

And one from Happy Elf with Kitten Ears
Fool's Gold by Sarah Madison

I'm going to have lot's to read after the Christmas rush is over. Thank you all again, so very much. I really can't tell you how this made me feel.

Oh! I didn't realize. I didn't expect anything further at all, and when the new gift arrived, I was not only surprised, but assumed it came from my Secret Elf match. At any rate, thank you again, Ami, for the prior two books, and thank you, Jasmine Dawson, for the third! I'm so very grateful to both of you for your kindness!


message 2030: by Scarlett (new)

Kenwood and Piece by Piece (West End #3) by Teodora Kostova and A Faithful Son by Michael Scott Garvin and Mapping the Forest (Rocky Mountain Boys, #1) by Brandon Witt and If I Should Stumble by Claire Davis and last but not least from Heather The Understatement of the Year (The Ivy Years, #3) by Sarina Bowen
