you can order them on-line. Hubby has discovered that moving me to the middle of nowhere was a bad thing for the credit card. The things that I can now buy without ever leaving the comfort of my home...scares him.

I also hear you need to use the heavy duty lube (seriously the things I learn while reading, hubby would have a bird if he realized I even knew what fisting was...roflmao!!! just thinking about telling him over dinner tonight)
I just checked my ARe account and saw that
was added to my library yesterday and I never received an email....I am assuming it's from my secret santa in this group because of all of the ARe talk but since I am in a couple of elfster secret santa's I have no idea who sent it. So if it is from my elf here THANK YOU!!!!

You are so evil! That's one of the things I like about you! Poor hubby! But if you tell him, I think you should record it, for education purposes. In case any of the rest of us need to explain fisting to anyone else. Seems a popular subject.
OMG Dirty Kinky Elf put this on my stocking!! 
I am so blessed, that is like book #15 I received this year. BOOK NUMBER 15!!! So I am definitely on Santa's Nice List, right? Right? Smooch to all my Santas.

Ashten, don't feel bad, I did the same exact thing last year, my very first gift!! :)

OMG, I know I say I'm excited every time but I really, truly am!! That lovely Dirty Kinky Elf just gave me
and my sweet, generous Secret Santa gave me
!! I cannot wait to read these! Thank you so much!!!
Listen, if anyone can update Skam and make Even and Isak good again, that is good enough for me. No books needed. Kthnxbye.

Looking good, everyone!

Can I be a fly on the wall for that?? ROFLMAO
Wowza! I go away for a mini-vacay this weekend and come back to find that a few Not Your Secret Santas and Secret Elves have been busy! I got as pressies:
Shh, but, I may have shed a tear or two. There's just something about getting all of those messages of friendship, love, and thanks, along with all of that generosity all at once that just hits ya right in the feels. THANK YOU! You made my day!

Hehe!! Wouldn't it be fun to actually all party together?!!!
I got a prezzie! =) Thanks so much, Santa's secret ninja elf, for sending A Gentleman's Position to me today! I adore KJ Charles =)
What a fabulous way to end a Monday shitstorm. I just was gifted
by not my secret santa. Woot!! Thanks for making my Monday great!!

I might be biased because I'm a A.E. Via fan, but

I have fond memories of the Tales of Shareem! They are super smexy and the book Aiden and Ky was my gateway drug into m/m romance. :-D

I don't know it's sounding more like the naughty list to me...you know the nice & naughty list. Whatever you've been doing keep doing it. It's obviously making someone happy.
Liz (Bugetta) wrote: "was my gateway drug into m/m romance..."A few Emma Holly mmf menage and Samantha Kane's Brothers In Arms series started me along the mm path. Eventually dumped the f. And then I read Special Delivery and Hot Head and I was a very interested fan of mm!
Anyway, had a pressie of
Duck! which has been on my list forever and I've never read. Thank you, Santa's Helper!

Lol! Yeah, I had the same experience. There were some m/m only scenes and I thought those were much better than the MMF scenes and wondered if there were m/m only books...three years later and I've read hundreds of them! Thank you Aiden and Ky and Allyson James. :-D

Another BR together ? I can't wait : it will make this reading totally special, between the fantastic gesture and sharing it with you. If my nice elf gets revealed, maybe my secret friend can even join us ?

I didn't have time yet to mention that I received a "fantastic" gift from Jewel, because I'm too busy devouring it, ranting about RL being on the way. Thanks so much for
: I'm loving it so much !!!!

Not three years yet but still a couple of hundred MM books. Best decision I ever made for it brought me here and I met so many wonderful people who have become so very important to me!
Well, okay... I'm off for now to dry my happy tears ;)

I love these books, I have them in nook form & wanted them on my kindle. Aiden & Ky was the first m/m book I ever read & as they say, the rest is history ;)
Oh Santa, you are too kind. 
And Amazon is so impatient. I KNOW I haven't claimed my book yet. My life is in chaos. Be patient with me. LOL
I should have added that I did get e-mail notification from ARe for all the books I've received via them. Not sure why some people are getting and others aren't.
