Oh my God, I love it! Thank you andtheIToldYouSos! I know I am a bit of a pain when it comes to the book exchange because I don’t really leave much detail as to what to get me—decisions are hard! But I love everything here from the two new authors that I have never read before, the extraterrestrial-themed cards and mask, the Spice Girls card(!) And the friendship bracelets! (And they did they put me in mind of a certain someone, was that deliberate?) I […]
Happy Holidays!
Thank you very much to teresaelectro for this wonderful gift! For book exchange, I ask for my gifter’s favorite book of the year to expand my usual reading selection. I’m very excited to dig into these two in the new year as my first two reviews for CBR15. (Unpictured: my cat who tried to jump on to the top of the bookshelf while I was taking this pic, missed, and fell to the floor in embarrassment.)
Thank you Jen!!!!! (CBR Book Exchange – Woooooo!)
Y’all. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS GIFT. A book I never heard of? EXCITEMENT. And an Edgar Award Winner? YES. I am a sucker for an award winner. SASSY SOCKS?!? YES. Jen wrote an awesome card (A HANDWRITTEN CARD?!) and noted that the socks were “a bit of a gamble” but I giggled immediately so the gamble paid off. My first pair of socks boasting a swear word. Here. For. It. THANK YOU THANK YOU LET’S BE BEST FRIENDS. Too much? Too bad, I’m […]
Thank you So-Far-Anonymous Benefactor!
Hola! It’s ye olde FyreHaar reporting from the Land of No Reviews! I got these in the post and I’m pretty sure it was from one of y’all. I said that I love anything from a British Bake Off alum. I realized when I got these that I usually expect that to mean cookbooks so these are a wonderful subversion of that unexamined expectation. Thank you kind benefactor, I will enjoy them in the best health possible!
Thank you to Jake!
I was thrilled to see these two books when I opened the package! I’ve been wanting to read No Man Knows My History for years, and I started reading it right away. And then how could you not want a book with the title Sex Cult Nun haha 🙂 Thank you so much! This was such a nice surprise and I’m really looking forward to reading these.
Thanks So Much to My Cannonballer!
Thanks so much to my awesome cannonballer for getting me two items off my list! Unlike years past, I didn’t have a good idea of what I wanted so I decided to list two books that sounded fun but also weird. I’m hoping they’ll take me out of my comfort zone a bit while hewing close to genres I like. Those books are: Reptile Memoirs by Silje Ulstein High John the Conqueror by Tariq Goddard Thanks so much to whoever got me these two. I’m incredibly grateful and […]
