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.
      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
, some yummy m/m/m goodness. From "Santa's Elf" mysteriously designated as one of their first GR friends. Hmmmm. :-)Then I got
 from my Santa. Thank you so much to both. If only I had time to read either of them. But vacation is coming.

Seems like the missing email address might be the reason that those emails aren't getting through to me.

      Suzy Snowflake *which is just the cutest, BTW* just sent me 
  
!! I'm really looking forward to reading this, thank you so much for thinking of me! <3
    
      Crisco? Really? That stuff is seriously messy or at least that's what says when it's used in books :)
    
      I love seeing what everyone is getting! I love doing this every year! Plus I'm finding more to put on my wish list lol
    
      Suzy Snowflake (very festive name!) just sent me 
  
 -- Thank you, so much! I'm looking forward to reading this :)

      At this speed, I'd ended up with another hundred books added to my TBR. Oh well, keep them coming. :-P

I'm definitely in!

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!
      I received 
  
 from my elf...sad to say I already have this in my library. I'm hoping I'll get another delivery. If not, totally ok!Thank you!!!!
      Should I send the person I'm gifting to check their ARE library since they aren't notifying people that they are gifted books or is it possible to send a mass message to everyone in the group!?
    
      My secret elf might have accidentally revealed themselves to me. Not sure, though....anyway, thank you Ashten for gifting me 
  
!! <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.

Ashten, you can exchange for credit and get something else. It happens!

But some peeps are out of town this week, so that might be delaying some too. :) Join the impatient club, membership is free!!

LOL!! There are benefits to membership though. There's an open bar and popcorn. And ice cream! And someone mentioned Cards Against Humanity, but I haven't seen those yet. ;)

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 ;)

We can just add a couple more seats to the lounge and find those cards for Lisazj1.
