Christmas in July Book Exchange discussion

Have you gotten any goodies yet?!
Share with us and make our TBR's grow more and more! lol

So I set this thread up a few moments ago, not anticipating that I would be the first one to post! lol

I am such a sucker for M/M hockey books. They are my absolute favorite. I am so excited to get Home and Away. Thank you Santa!! :-)

Am I the only lucky girl so far?? Thank you Santa for Merry Christmas, Mr. Miggles.

<3

I just got a prezzie #1!!!! :D

Delayed Gratification by Tamryn Eradani



Thank you , thank you, thank you, July Elf =)

I am populating our Bookshelf and adding shelves as I go :)

I got my first goodie Zach thanks S.S.

I got a huge surprise when I checked my email today

from the sweet Christmas in July Elf

all from my wonderfully generous SS

Thank you thank you thank you!! What a great way to start my weekend.

My Secret Elf gifted me with Celebrate (I finally got around to reading Duck! recently - so good!) and Crocuta Crocuta (not sure how Adrienne can make Cerebrus a hero (a half-hyena!) but if anyone can do it he can).

@Elf ~ Lei ~

Thanks so much for The Lawrence Browne Affair!



Wanted that book for ages!

Elf M'rella gifted Reawakening! Thank you! Dragons!

I woke up to some awesome gifts this morning from my SS, and I think I know who she is :)





Thank you so very much!!!

This is awesome! Nice selections. I'm almost embarrassed to say I haven't read any of the books you received, and hadn't heard of 95% of them. TBR is growing by the second. hahaha

Elf~Lei -- Thank you so much for Withered + Sere. I don't know how I didn't have this on my list because I LOVE TJ Klune so very much. It is my pleasure to put this together. It's always been fun. I'm glad to see that so far it can still work despite the ARe debacle. Thank you again!

Not Your Secret Santa--Thank you for Test Drive. This is one series I really want to start reading. :-)

Thank you both!!

SS struck again! Thank you for the book #2!!!! :D

Yes, this is the danger of participating in these exchanges! It's like, I've never heard of this book and why not?!

Oooh - my friend 'Fellow Challenge Elf' sent me September !! Thank you!!! I haven't had a chance to see WHO my friend may be though ~ I shall be investigating very soon :D

Yay!

I know what else SS stands for! Sneaky Santa :)

Anyway, many thanks to my SS again :D Book three in the series is now happily snuggling with the other two in my Amazon collection!

Who I Am When I'm With You

Thank you SS. Received Adrian, Joshua, and Caldren. Looking forward to reading these.

I've waited for so long for this! For a year and a half, to be precise.

Thank you, my SS for the prezzie #4 :D

The Beauty's Brother

And now a prezzie #5.
I am being spoiled!

Starstruck

Well... well... well

I guess you're not my secret santa. Lol

My match hasn't got a wish list on elfster either..... So I was wondering if it was okay o send a gift card as a substitute? Or is that cheating?

Can't wait for your review as I love me some dragons!!!

Don't send anything yet! What if they don't show up at all and never claim their gift? It had happened before :(

Also, I am thinking that maybe Kendra can weed out no-shows and make new pairs out of those of us who are orphans?

I am getting spoiled rotten. What a wonderful feeling.... ;)

Thank you, dear Santa, for your latest gift!

The Castaway Prince



*pssst! Cross. Dressing. !!!! =) :P

That happened to me in the xmas s.s. my person never responded i had to cancel my orders in January.

That stinks. :-(

I'll look at it all this weekend and send out a plan. I like what M'rella suggested. I'll see how to put it all together. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Team work makes the dream work. Lol

Great idea M'rella!

I do this shuffle ever so often for the monthly challenges. It's pretty much an autopilot for me. When people go awol, shuffle!

squee!



Another book! Love this series =)

Wanderer's Heart





Dear Santa!

Thank you so much for your generosity and the wonderful week of gifts. July is also my Birthday month, and that makes my little stash of new books even more exciting!

Thank you again.

PS Please, don't hesitate to send more clues my way ;) Altho "H" is laconic, for a moment I was hoping that it would lead me somewhere, but - alas! - it left me just as puzzled, scratching my head :D

LOL you're so funny

Thank you to my fab SS!! I just received ~ I love this author's stories, so can't wait to open this one up :D Yay!

So many amazing books!

Pooo. H was not a clue. H was Hugs.

I solemnly swear that I will never, ever try to read and have GR's conversations on my phone while sitting in traffic. Much less perform such complex operations as copy and paste.

Now. Who is here most likely to send me hugs?

Still scratching....

hahaha Love that GIF.

Thank you to July Elf and Secret Santa for Where We Belong and Connection Error.

You were right...I do love the Connection Error cover!! :-)

@Lei

At least your parents have an excuse! lol

I am afraid to think which holiday my parents were celebrating, considering my country has its own version of Halloween in January, and that obviously doesn't work ;)

I received from a GR Friend not my SS

And

I received from my SS

Thank you both for the great books!

Thank you S. S. I just received
