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!

  10. 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!

  11. 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!
