This is where you post once an item has arrived.

Thank you, Trishya! I received A Manual for Cleaning Women today. It's been on my list for a long time. I look forward to reading it.

Wow fast

Hope you enjoy it Denise!

I got my present! I received The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden! I can’t wait to get into this trilogy over winter break! Thanks so much secret Santa!

That was me, Shelby! Enjoy the book!

TL is an amazing Secret Santa! She got me With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo!

I was so confused when I checked my mailbox. I was wondering what the heck I ordered from Amazon. XD It took me a moment to process that Secret Santa presents would be showing up. Thank you SO much! I cannot wait to read it!

You're welcome! Happy reading!:)

Me too Daphne!! Very exciting to see everyone open their packages. Hopefully everyone is able to get to their new books soon

Got my present today and to say that I'm thrilled would be an understatement! Thank YOU, my lovely Secret Santa! :D
You're a mind-reader! :D

I must admit I recommended that one to them because A Little Life is my favourite book of all time!! I do hope you enjoy :)

I got My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.. thanks Secret Santa!

Oh, you're awesome, Mel! Thank you!
I'm SOOOO ready to have my heart broken by this book - I didn't dare to pick it up until now, but this is just what I wanted. So thank YOU and my Secret Santa! You guys are the best! :D

I didn't think about the double gift of getting some really good book rec's that I hadn't heard of from anyone else. You are all a treasure trove of TBRs.

Honestly my favourite part of this exchange (besides the books) is all the new books I’ve never heard of!

thank you SO much to my secret santa!! I got flowers for algernon and dead poets society. So so happy!!

I got 3 books in the mail today!!! How exciting!!

I’m not sure who they’re from since I had 3 secret Santa

I got Blood Heir by Amelie Zhao!!

Find Me by Andre Aciman which I’m SO excited for

And I got Hollywood North by Michael Libling. Unfortunately this book is destroyed as the entire package was dropped into a puddle and the cardboard disintegrated. I’m really devestated but at least I got the book. Though I likely won’t keep it :( water damaged books are too difficult to read.

To note, the postage people dropped it in a puddle they put a letter in the package. It wasn’t me!!

aw Mel that sucks so bad, I'm so sorry to hear that!

Mel, Blood Heir is from me! :D It sounded too good to not get! You also have another coming from me, but I don’t think it’s shipped yet.

Right it sounded amazing?!? She got some hate from early readers and almost stopped releasing the book, but received so much love she decided not to!! I can’t wait to read it :D

Thank you!! I don’t remember what I asked for so it’s going to be an even bigger surprise!

These two you got from me!!! :D Happy you got them already. This made me want to read Girl Made of Stars too!!

I also received my copy today! I got Red Queen!!! It's perfect. I didn't even provide a specific list and this one has been on my wishlist FOREVER. I just got the audiobook from the library and started it 4 days ago and did not like the voice so I dropped it. This couldnt have come at a better timing!!!!!!! I'm SO happy!! Thank you Secret Santa ;___;

Yay Nina and Linda!!!

I had you both and got you both Red Queen! I adandoned it a while back but wanted to give it a second chance. Nina you had it on your list, and Linda I checked out your TBR and figured If you guys enjoyed it it would give me the motivation I needed to read it!

Linda, what are the odds you got to be my secret santa? :D thank you so so much, again! And I definitely can lend you Girl Made of Stars once I've read it; I've been thinking we should meet up at some point any way! :)

You're welcome!! Sorry for the late reveal, I somehow overlooked your post about the first book. Happy reading!

I received Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater. Secret Santa, whoever you are thank so much!! I am looking forward to read about Ronan Lynch again *w*

I was told to expect one more package for Secret Santa and I’m finding myself so impatient!!

@Renise: Ho, ho, ho ;-) I chose it because I'd read something by her, at least, and thought she wrote well.

I am hoping my ss will be delivered to my ss today !!! I bad she hasn’t gotten it yet. And then another one after that
