Wheeee, the mailman brought me a package today! My secret santa wrote a nice message and gifted me two books: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and Grave Matter by Juno Dawson. Thank you so very much, Caroline! I am eager to read the books for my 2019 Challenge!

I'm so happy! I just received "All the light we cannot see" by Anthony Doerr. I wanted to thank my Secret Santa, but there is no a return address. Anyway, she (I think) sent a very nice note along with the book. Thank you very much, Secret Santa!
I received two books from my secret Santa, Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire and Death's Mistress by Terry Goodkind. Thank secret Santa. I look forward to doing this again next year

Received my book today! Before We Were Yours Wish I could thank the person by name, but there wasn't any name to go with it. But I'm so looking forward to reading it. It's one that I had planned on reading for my challenge next year!

Amazon said it would deliver Christmas Eve and I even did one day shipping but then it got delayed. I'm glad you like it!
I am so overwhelmed by my secret Santa. I received two books Tin Man & The Hearts Invisible Furies which I opened on Christmas Day with glee! However, today I received another book, Little Fires Everywhere, as my Santa saw I had already read The Hearts Invisible Furies. I am so very touched by this lovely gesture. I actually asked my family members for Little Fires Everywhere for Christmas but did not receive it so it’s a double delight!! Thank you so much. I am over then moon & cant wait to read the books you have sent me. Much love to you xxx
I just received my gift from my Secret Santa, and it must be a good book as my son also bought me the exact same book for Christmas. The book is Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak

Thank you to my secret Santa - I think - I received three books in the mail today, and I’m so thankful, it was sooo kind and generous! (Challenger Deep, Me Before You, The Book Thief).I hope they are from my Secret Santa, otherwise I’m sleep buying on Amazon!
