Just got Nine Perfect Strangers from my Secret Santa! Thank you so so much. I can't wait to get into it. :)
I received my BOOKS today from my Secret Santa. Each is individually wrapped with a brief description of each book on the outside (think blind date with a book)! SO CUTE! I think I'll open one on Christmas and then as I need another book! Honestly, I don't know that I can wait that long!! I may just open them all at once! Thank you Santa from Texas!!

Kara: "Thank you!", for organizing the Secret Santa event, and being an amazing moderator. I appreciate the hard work and patience that goes into this event, every year. 😘☃️🎄👍🏾❄️
I received my book today: A Thousand Splendid Suns. Great choice, thank you! But received this message when I tried to claim it: "This eBook cannot be redeemed by customers in your country. Learn more"
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

You can claim a gift credit in the price of the book with the customer service, they will put it on a gift account and then you can buy the book. It worked for me.
Thanks to Amber for Above Us Only Sky! I like that you found something I didn't know about, and that it sounds like a great read!
I received my book a few days ago. I don’t yet know what it is because it’s gift wrapped and I plan to open it on Christmas.

I tried to look at books we had in common to get a feel for what might resonate with you... But of course, ya never know - fingers crossed ;)

Hi Laila, oh no pity! I have got exactly same message when receiving my secret santa book. If you log on to Amazon Kindle you can get a gift card instead and buy other book which is available for NZ. Or you can get the gift card and log on to amzaon via your kindle device and try to download "A Thousand Splendid Suns" this way. Worked for me :)
I received "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" Many thanks Secret Santa Angie B! :) Merry Xmas to you too
Kelly gifted me two books: Ruin and Rising and Kingdom of Ash. Thank you so much! Looking forward to continuing these series.
I have been waging war with my printer so I am hoping to ship out my secret santa gift tomorrow, assuming the hubby can print my label from work. Sorry for the delay, it's coming! Not that you person know who you are yet lol
