Rachael (allons-y-bookworm) | 4812 comments Thank you, Secret Santa! 🎅 I received The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. It was a pleasant surprise because I had been checking my emails quite regularly but for some reason it went straight to a different folder. Can't wait to read it.
I see some books that I love have been received by others: Red Rising, Uprooted, Outlander to name a few. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)
Thank you also to Kara for doing such a great job organising it :)

message 124: by Rikki (new)

Rikki (rikkirivera) | 2 comments I’m not sure if the books I received are from my secret Santa on here or not, there wasn’t a note included. But I received a generous amount of books, some from my TBR on here, so I’m assuming so. Is it possible to find out who our Santa’s are? Either way, thank you so much!


message 125: by Ashley (last edited Dec 22, 2018 10:36AM) (new)

Ashley Tomlinson  (ashumley2122) I just received mine today! The Couple Next Door and Little Fires Everywhere Thanks to my Secret Santa, Karen! I can't wait to dive into them!


message 126: by Lynette (new)

Lynette Caulkins | 148 comments Thank you, Rikki Rivera!

Your box arrived today with the pretty wrapping. It lasted all of two hours on one of my Newbery collection bookcases. Then I decided it wasn't fair to make you also wait until Christmas Day. ha!



Thank you for TWO books! It looks like you did a great job finding books I'd never heard of, but look quite interesting! I am sure I will enjoy both
The Futures by Anna Pitoniak and The Winter Soldier by Daniel Mason .

The Futures looks like something that is outside my normal go-to, but intriguing (which is something of a personal "genre" that I have grown to love). It will make a nice shift of gears to follow my current book, which is a children's Newbery from 1938.

The Winter Soldier looks to be right up my alley to start with - plus, I have no doubt at all that my husband will eat it up, as well. I'll read it in January or February for my in-season book on my Popsugar challenge!

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to you!!
