message 367: by Ami (new)

Ami (amie_07) | 336 comments Okay, so Santa Baby gifted me this:

Nobody's Home by Dev Bentham

with hint "LOL. I had to sneak a 'baby' in there just for you ;)". So it must be someone who knows me long enough here to be familiar with my hatred towards that one particular endearment (I will put on my thinking cap to guess this Santa!)


message 368: by Jane (PS) (new)

Jane (PS) Woohoo - another pressie! Thank you A Helpful Elf for the fab Short Stay (Love Lessons, #3.5) by Heidi Cullinan ~ love these boys and looking forward to this next story :D Yay!


message 369: by Tam (new)

Tam (cdn_tam) OMG, Thank you so much Santa. We share similar tastes in authors it seems. Mentions of unicorns? You obviously know me well. LOL Crap. I need more clues. I don't even know most of the people in the exchange but thank you so much (and yes, I'm special and continue to get e-mails form ARe). Maybe there's a button for that? Anyway, Thanks again. This time it was:

Sweet Summer Sweat by Clare London Forgive and Forget by Charlie Cochet Three Bears for the Wolf Shifter Snacks Gay Menage by Krishna Brooks

Can't wait until my life calms down and I can actually read. Maybe this evening... if I don't pass out first.

You're famous in the m/m community. LOL Infamous?

Nah, I think only several people who know, not the whole community. Although, I remember Kaje Harper once called me as "Baby Police". I don't whether to be proud or embarrassed... LOL.

Yup! I just added another few to my TBR. I might need to add another shelf and label it "because the elves made me" or something like that. I'm definitely weak against pretties.

I do wear my club badge proudly!

And thanks to you, I just added another book to my TBR. It's the first time I hear about Flying Fish (Sword and Silk, #1) by Sedonia Guillone , but it sounds really interesting. Memoirs of a Geisha is one of my favorite books.

Hang in there sweetie, you probably got one of those Black Friday/Cyber Monday Santas who want to spoil you as much as possible and still stay in budget, but in the meantime have a drink...or two they're healthy ;)

Yummyyyy!! It's healthy cause it's orange!! I'm always patient when receiving gifts. It's the waiting for the person I sent a gift to post that they got it that's killing me!! I'll just drink myself silly over here in the corner! lol
