Probably because as I recall there was something involving Daniel Radcliffe and Queen Elizabeth and bad blow jobs...this requires ice cream and copious amounts of alcohol.

Tam (cdn_tam) I feel awful I have not thanked my Santa(s)? yet. My life has been a nightmare of non-stop work or Christmas panto rehearsals. (note excuses for future late postings. LOL)

My first gift was By Design (Alphas Unleashed, #6) by B.A. Tortuga , some yummy m/m/m goodness. From "Santa's Elf" mysteriously designated as one of their first GR friends. Hmmmm. :-)

Then I got Hexmaker (Hexworld, #2) by Jordan L. Hawk from my Santa. Thank you so much to both. If only I had time to read either of them. But vacation is coming.

@Jewel, Karen, Lisa, Lila: Thanks for your input. Seems like the missing email address might be the reason that those emails aren't getting through to me.

Tam (cdn_tam) Uh oh. Maybe I outed myself on ARe? Oh well. I'll blame it on being a first timer.

It's been long time since I read Without Reservations (With or Without #1) by J.L. Langley but I gave it 4 stars which tells me I really enjoyed it. Hope you do too.

I'm definitely in this club, because it will take me forever to read every single thing on my tbr. We have a sister membership in the I-have-no-willpower-when-it-comes-to-buying-books club, right?

I can't resist the dual membership any better than a new shiny book to add to my TBR. We are set!

message 236: by Jewel (new)

Jewel | 226 comments My secret elf might have accidentally revealed themselves to me. Not sure, though....anyway, thank you Ashten for gifting me Jumpstart (Crossroads #3.5) by Riley Hart !! <3 <3 I love it!!!

I sent a message out! however, some people just never post here. You can also send them a message through elfster.

I think Heather did that just a little while ago and she mentioned that, so hopefully they'll see it soon. But some peeps are out of town this week, so that might be delaying some too. :) Join the impatient club, membership is free!!

Yes membership in both clubs is unavoidable and happily free! All that is required is an unending and evergrowing TBR list and the burning drive to read the books...all the books. See you are both in as are a number of others here I'm sure ;)
