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 :)

I got two books: Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve & A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Both books are the beginning of series. Think it's time to start smth new. Thanx a lot to my Secret Santa!!
And thanx to Kara for organising all this!
I've received The Kite Runner today. Thank you so much to my Secret Santa :)Thanks Kara for organising.
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!
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!
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
and
. 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!!
Hello and Merry Christmas, Rikki! I forgot to put my name on the note (and there should've been at least one), but I was your Secret Santa. Have fun reading those classics!
Just received my Secret Santa package ( Justine Cioffi ) she sent me 7 amazing books!! I got super lucky this year! Thank you so very much!

I just received my book! A HUGE thank you to my Secret Santa, Amber Green, for sending me Traitor Born! It's a sequel to a book I read recently and loved, so I added this to my To-Read list. I can't wait to read this one! Thanks, Amber, it's a great choice, and I really appreciate it!
I received the book, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon from my secret Santa today. I have been wanting to read this series for sooo long, but keep putting it off because the size of the books were overwhelming.
