I'm glad it finally arrived!!! Haha I didn't get my Secret Santa's name either so I came on here to thank the mysterious sender and hope they saw my post :p. 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!

Lisa Price (timetravellingdiamond) | 3 comments 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
