EnglishElle | 36 comments The BEST surprise was on my doorstep! Thank you SO much, Secret Santa, for surprising me with It Happened One Summer (Bellinger Sisters, #1) by Tessa Bailey and The Toll (Arc of a Scythe, #3) by Neal Shusterman !! I can't wait to dive into the Scythe series some more (because it's so crazy good), and I love that I'll also be able to escape into a great romance book. Thank you again, S.S!!! I wish everyone who participated a wonderful holiday season, too!

message 21: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (elizabethandhermonsters) | 4 comments I don’t know who my Santa was, but thank you for the copy of James by Percival Everett! I was too intimidated to buy it on my own. I know that it’s an important read, just couldn’t commit to buying it myself. So, I put it on my list in the hopes that my Secret Santa would get it for me. It worked!

I'm your secret santa. There's a second one on it's way but ups is stating it "ran into an issue delivering it"? I'll keep you posted


message 26: by Tina (new)

Tina | 34 comments I got Martyr!
That was my most wanted book from my wishlist! :D I'm so excited to finally read it!

Thank you Secret Santa!!!


message 27: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 37 comments Tina, you have one more coming as well! But of course, Santa split it into two shipments.

I keep looking at Martyr to read as well. I hope you like it, and I hope you like your second book, which I have read and really enjoyed.


message 28: by Tina (new)

Tina | 34 comments Oh what?? That's way too much!
(But I'm so curious what the second book will be :D )

Thank you so much Jenny!!


message 29: by Brenna (new)

Brenna (brenna_pappert) | 27 comments 3 books, all incredibly gift wrapped from my Secret Santa! The Berry Pickers, A Thousand Days in Tuscany: A Bittersweet Adventure, and The Painted Bird. Thank you secret santa!


message 30: by Vanessa (new)

Vanessa (thehispanicbookworm) | 10 comments My SS package arrived last week (I think!), but try as I might to hold out until the holidays, my curiosity got the better of me.
To my wonderful Secret Santa, wherever you may be: thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm completely smitten with this journal. The cover is a dream – so soft and inviting – and the way it falls open like a well loved paperback makes my writer's heart sing. It's absolutely perfect, and I can't wait to fill all the pages with stories, spells, and dreams.

It stressed me out when I got three different tracking numbers. I couldn't figure out why they would split the order when I ordered them simultaneously. I don't have many bookish friends in my immediate circle so it was fun getting to buy books for someone else :) Happy reading!

Thank you secret Santa. I have been looking at this one for a while.

Hi Ashley! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I didn't know that book and got really curious. I'll try to get a copy for me as well :)

Happy Holidays! <3

message 43: by Tina (new)

Tina | 34 comments I received two packages today. One was Bright Young Women and I'm sooo excited to read it!

I will open the other package on Christmas.

Thank you so much Secret Santa!!!


message 44: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 37 comments Tina, Bright Young Women was your second book from me. I did read it and thought it was excellent.
Your other package is a mystery to me, but then maybe Santa very much has you on his "nice" list!


message 45: by Tina (new)

Tina | 34 comments Oh!! I thought they are both from the same Secret Santa because both packages had a customs sticker from Austria, with the same address on it.
And I signed up for Secret Santa twice, so I figured they must be from my second sign up-Santa.

Either way, great choice of books, Jenny! So looking forward reading them.
Thank you!!
