I love seeing what everyone has received!

Santas, please don't forget to message me once you have sent your books!

All, please be patient with the post. Many people haven't received books yet, but that's to be expected this time of year. We will make sure that everyone gets a book. :)

[Jane]

I got my book just now, but I think it will be fun to open it on Christmas day. Thank you secret Santa! I'm going to come back on here and reveal what I received when I open it. So ridiculously excited for a book! Haha.

[Wendy]

I received "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. This was the perfect book because my daughter and I have been reading books together and this was the book she wanted to read. Thank you. I am very excited to read this in 2017!!

[Kadijah Michelle]

I received my eBook from Dee today. I'm looking forward to reading The Big Sleep in the new year!

[Janine]

I believe I have received my secret santa ebook! It appeared suddenly on my kindle so I hope I am correct in my assumption :D I received The Rosie Project and am excited to get around to it in the New Year. Thank you, whoever you are!

[Alissa]

Thank you so much to my secret Santa who sent me a book that I would never have picked up. But, now that I have it, it sounds really good and I can't wait to read it.

[Dana]

I received Beauty by Robin Mckinley from my Secret Santa, so excited to get started.

[Holly]

Circus Circus by Alistair McLean. Have never heard of it, so it'll be something new for me. Sounds intriguing. They also sent a card with Charles Dickens, a piece of sour candy, and a pocket & library card from Prudence & the Crow.

I'm so glad you hadn't read it before! Hope you enjoy it. I saw that you liked historical fiction, so it fits that, and it's honestly a depressing topic but written SO beautifully that I will never forget it, and I hope you'll love it, too! Merry Christmas!

[Denise]

Thank you secret santa for my psychological thriller book! Can't wait to read it!!

[Rashmi]

I wish I knew who my Santa was.

[Elle]

A big thanks to my Secret Santa!!! I received my book yesterday before traveling and didn't open until I got to my destination. I felt like a kid on Christmas Day! I look forward to settling in with it and some hot chocolate in the new year. I also received a new friend request...could this be you???

[Joleen]

Thank to you whoever sent Gone Girl to me! I always go to check it out from the Library but it's never there! So now I have it all to myself!

[Lulu]

Thanks so much Santa! My santa sent me a beautiful card along with Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered!

I love it! It's going to be the perfect thing to do while I listen to audiobooks - and I am definitely artistically challenged, so suits me :D

[Erika]

Thank you Secret Santa! The Persian Pickle Club arrived today!

[Roma]

Thank you, Jackie B for All the Light We Cannot See!

Thanks to Claire for The Glass Castle!!! I'm so excited to read it!! Claire was my Secret Santa last year too, so I know I will enjoy her pick, as I enjoyed My Brilliant Friend which she sent me last year!

[Eileen]

With pleasure Ana, glad to know they have arrived, hope you'll enjoy them! =D

I want to thank Laura for the two books I received today
The Handmaid's Tale &
Still Life

Thank you a lot! You've had a good intuition with those Canadian authors, Canada is my favorite place on earth and I'm so impatient to discover those books. I'll add them to my 2017 challenge ;)
Thanks again, I am really happy =D

[Keri]

A big thanks to my secret santa Natasha B!!! She sent me The Forgotten Garden which I completely forgot was on my to-read list. It was a wonderful surprise. Thank you, thank you!

I recieved Wifey by Judy Blume! Looks like a fun easy read! I cant wait! Thank you Secret Santa!

[Winter, Group Reads]

I received a gift car for All the Light You Cannot See which I have wanted to read for a long time! It will be a great read once I finish the tome I'm currently working on. Whoever thought Game of Thrones was a good idea for fishing your challenge? Lol ^^

[Winter, Group Reads]

Oh! Thank you ! ^^ forgot to write the last line. Thank you so much!

[Mindy]

Jess sent A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and The Zookeeper's Wife. Thank you, Jess! You are a marvelous Santa. I'm very much looking forward to reading both of these. :-)

[Brandi]

A big thank you and shout-out to my Secret Santa, Brande, for The Earl, Milky Way bites, and the pretty and thoughtful Christmas card! I had my suspicions when I saw the friend request, but wasn't sure because what are the odds that my Secret Santa would share my namesake? Thank you again! I'm looking forward to checking out The Earl ;)

Hope you enjoy!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!
