Secret Santa 2018 - Post here when you receive your book!

[Kara]

We're all excited to see what you got! Please post here so your Santa will know your book has arrived safely.

Messages are just starting to go out--please be patient as there is a max number of messages I can send a day, so the messages will go out over the next few days. There are more participants than ever, so I unfortunately won't be able to get all messages out for a full week. I am going through the physical books first then will get to the ebooks. I appreciate your understanding!

Some of your books are coming from very long distances (and some countries are experiencing significant post delays), so don't worry if you don't receive anything quickly.

[Kara]

We have 292 participants from 36 countries! This is by far our largest group.

The top three countries are the US (191 participants), the UK (18 participants) and India (14 participants).

75 folks wanted ebooks, and 217 wanted physical books.

37 brave souls declined to give their Secret Santa any direction at all and decided to be surprised. :)

[Becky]

I received my books! I got Mrs. Miracle by Debbie Macomber and I am Malala.

Thank you!

[Kara]

Hooray! The first one to receive a gift! :)

[Kara]

TO ALL PARTICIPANTS: I am still sending out messages. Because the participant rate was 3x higher than usual, it is taking way longer than expected to scrub the data, do the matches, and send out messages. Unfortunately, Goodreads limits the number of messages a user can send at a time. I really appreciate your patience! I will be finished within a week.

I also received my gift certificate from Amazon, for Kiss Quotient, but cannot claim it even though I regularly buy books from Amazon.com. It seems that it is not working in our small countries. They offered the coupon, so hopefully that will work.
Thank you Santa and Daniel C for the kind thought!

update: managed to redeem the credit, so the book is in my kindle. Christmas came. yay!
