This is a really lovely holiday time read!! It takes place around Christmas.

I already sent a thank-you note through Amazon, but thank you Santa for my new copy of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue!

I’m making a post a little post about it on my BookTok as we speak. I’m @elizabethinhorrorlandnon TT.

Thank you to my Santa(s?) for The Dictionary of Lost Words and The Book of Lost Things

Very excited to read them soon :)

Omg I received The Colour of Magic by Pratchett and The Hollow Places by Kingfisher!

Santa, thank you!!

You're welcome, Manda! I'm glad you like it.

I did not participate this year because the cost of living has hit really hard - but Steph gifted me a copy of Ace, which is a non-fiction on being asexual. I super appreciate Steph for letting me join in the book present opening <3
Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex

My Santa is the bee’s knees. 🐝 I just received a second book from my wishlist, Holly by Stephen King. I am so immensely grateful.

Thank you!

Thank you so much secret Santa for Hide by Kiersten White and The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex, super excited for these two! <3

Damn I was spoiled this year.. I got Dead Silence by S.A Barnes from the lovely Karen!!!

I am always so paranoid about packages cuz everything here gets stolen. I am shocked both of these 2 made it to me but I am so glad they did <3

Santa Manda rocks!

I received Little by Edward Carey and Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau from Santa today. I'm very excited for these :) Thank you!

Today Santa 🎅🏻brought me a gift 🎁😊. I received Someone Else's Bucket List by Amy T. Matthews. My bucket list contains the remaining 42 US National Parks 🏞️ my husband and I still have to visit (there are currently 63 in total) and some other international places to visit. Can't wait to read this one!

I'm in two Secret Santas so I think this book is from this one🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks, Secret Santa!

@Mel did you get anything else on Friday/Saturday? Tracking for the thing I ordered says it was delivered

Hello everyone!
I am trying to reach Nichole Webster. I hope you will read this message soon. I am your secret Santa, and have an update on your books which needs your attention. I have emailed Mel, too. Please reply to this message or directly message me. Thank you so much~~~

Hey Vaidehi I am so sorry for the delay, I just replied to your email!


Ashley, YES thank you soooooooo much I am so flipping excited to have Saga you are amazing!! Spoiled rotten from all of you this year 🧡 it was at my door for a few hours and no one stole it so that's a Christmas miracle.


Loving to see all the books coming through, this year the generosity from everyone was off the charts.

I'm in 2 Secret Santa exchanges, but I received the book from the other already. So these must have have come from my Secret Santa here. 3 books from BetterWorldBooks. The Book of Lost Names Finding Me and The Prisoner of Heaven by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Thank you Secret Santa for spoiling me!

Oh hey yay those were from me!! Since you didn't mind used books I thought I'd go all out and get you several :) I have to say I hadn't heard of the two historical fiction ones before but the cover of The Book of Lost Names grabbed my attention immediately!
Hope you'll enjoy them :)

If you two are at all interested in board games, there is a beautiful board game that is all about national parks, and most of them are from the US. It's called 'Parks'. Very calm easy game.

I returned to my mother’s home today to open Anxious People by Fredrik Backman from my second Santa! Thanks so much! I’ve been wanting to read this for a while!!

Omg, I just found out that I had another book waiting for me! Thanks Santa for Belladonna by Adalyn Grace!! It’s beautiful 🥰
