I didn't get an e-mail notification so it seems that aRe likes some people & doesn't like others & I guess I'm an other :D

Lisazj1 | 1514 comments There must be some false advertising going on somewhere because someone thinks I have been awfully good!! This morning I woke up to The Subs Club (The Subs Club, #1) by J.A. Rock from Secret Elf and then Santa's Elf's Elf gave me The Invasion of Adam (Tork and Adam, #2) by Claire Davis , thank you both so, SO much!!

I kinda feel like I'm getting all these awesome presents under false pretenses because really, I haven't been good since I was about 4 or so. Ooops!

Karen, I think that Josy believed she had a choice about joining our BR !?! Doesn't she know better ?
No Josy, it was not a proposal, it's a fact : we ARE doing this BR together. And if anybody wants to join us....no, I'm not going to start again with this "the more, the merrier", LMAO !!
