IMM - A Stellar Week!

Welcome to the beginning of a new week. I have to tell you, rarely have I had a week as exciting as this one has been book-wise. First, we got a new order of books in at my library, so of course about 15 of those went immediately to my TBR. Then, I got some great things in the mail, starting with my GIFT from my Secret Santa!

Here's what I got:
A Summer in Europe, by Marilyn Brant

Camp Nine, by Vivienne Schiffer

Suite Scarlett, by Maureen Johnson, audiobook

A chocolate bar, ornament, hot chocolate mix and a card!

As you can see, my Santa was very generous, but I have no idea who he/she is! How do I find out? The suspense is killing me!


ARCs For Review:
T
The Girls of No Return, by Erin Saldin from Scholastic

See what I mean? Wow! I didn't even bring home any books from the library this week. Thanks to The Story Siren for hosting IMM each week. Make sure you go over there and visit some other participating blogs.

    What a terrific week! And such a speedy secret Santa -- she (whoever she is!) did a great job :)

    Ohh, love the chocolate mix! I'm looking forward to The List, and I REALLY enjoyed reading Graffiti Moon. Lost in Time - that cover is amazing! Great week!

    Your haul is so exciting! I'm jealous of your signed copy of Lost in Time! I still haven't read my woefully UNSIGNED copy yet. Frankly, I don't know what's wrong with me - I love this series! Not to mention the rest of these amazing books.

    Have a fabulous reading week, Annette!

    I'm not sure if it's too early to reveal, but... your secret Santa is ME! :)

    I popped over today to see if you'd received your package and was delighted to see that you did. I'm so glad you like everything and that it arrived safely! I was a little worried that the chocolate would melt in our temperate Maryland winter here... but am relieved to see that it's good to go. :)

    I hope you have a very merry Christmas and enjoy all your excellent reading!
