Aditya Mehta (adityam582) | 16 comments This Sophie's World is the best book I ever read. So smooth delivery of knowledge, or we should say, history of knowledge, which we're carrying inside ourselves, to make sense of the world around us. I'm really grateful to my Secret Santa, and would like to connect with them to share more great stuff. Please reveal your identity, as I feel deeply thankful to you. Feel free to send a friend request on Goodreads.

Thanks!^^ And I think I will, I'm a little obessed with nordic mythology so most of the time a book deals more or less with it I'm all joy ;-) And I hope you will enjoy Sophie's World as well! :-)


message 70: by Kara (new)

Kara (karaayako) | 3984 comments Hi all! I know not everyone has received their books yet, but please be patient. I'm following up with Santas who I didn't hear from if their Santee hasn't already posted here saying they received their book.

And if you're a Santa who sent a book whose Santee hasn't yet let you know here they've received your book, please don't worry! People are busy around the holidays and many will reply later.

message 76: by =MYSTIQUE= (last edited Dec 31, 2021 10:23AM) (new)

=MYSTIQUE= | 3520 comments THANK YOU to my Secret Santa Michelle for my wonderful books. I love them and look forward to reading them. These are the first physical books I have gotten in about 6 years. I moved and wasn’t able to bring my books with me. I only read on my Kindle app or listen to audible but I have always loved the feel and smell of a real book. Thank you again, not only for my books but for starting my new physical library that I 100% intend to add to. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you have an amazing New Year.

The Golem and the Jinni (The Golem and the Jinni, #1) by Helene Wecker

It's a fantasy and historical fiction. That's intriguing. I read a lot of HF and not as much Fantasy but I'm really in the mood for something different. Yahoo!! 😁
