Woo hoo! Congratulations on your milestones, @Chrissyreadit! 2019 was a great year for books. If I had to choose on stand out to remember, I would go with Starless Sea. It's beautifully layered and magical. I'm looking forward to reading the new book by Emily St.John Mandel in 2020. Station Eleven was amazing; so expectations are high!

💗🤗Thank you for a chance in this #thankyougiveaway!

Thank you so much Helen, for the beautiful card and adorable bookworm stickers!! I love them!
I‘ve never been to Harrogate, not sure why as I hear it‘s lovely... I‘m from Sussex, close to Brighton... but lived in London for about 10 years before moving to Fort Lauderdale..... so you are correct, no White Christmas for us! 😎🌴🌞🌊☃️

julesG Harrogate is on my bucket list. First because Helen has sent me wonderful postcards. And I have Harrogate Allee (Avenue) in spitting distance from my home, it used to be British Forces barracks but was turned into reasonably affordable flats about 15 years ago. 5y
squirrelbrain Ah well, you were quite a way from Harrogate when you were here.... I‘ve only been to Brighton twice anyway! 😁 5y
jmtrivera I didn't realize you lived in Fort Lauderdale! My family lives in that area. If I get a chance to check out any bookstores while I'm there this holiday season, I know who to look for now! 😊 5y

Wow @Amandajoy !! Thank you so so much! I love it ALL. The books look amazing, the llama book mark and stickees are SO cute and the mug, notebook, and pins are too fun! Plus those pens are BEAUTIFUL. The card did come, my husband said it was brought over a few days ago by my neighbor which is why I didnt find it until you mentioned it. It‘s a really cute card too! I can‘t wait to dive in and experience *all the feels* myself. Thank you again!

Amandajoy I‘m glad you enjoyed everything! I especially had fun picking out the cozy mysteries - they have the best punny titles. 5y

I just wanted to thank everyone who has participated in #kindlitsy over the past couple of weeks. It‘s been fun to see the surprises on feeds as gifts are received.

I know that some can‘t afford bigger swaps, or prefer ebooks to paper, or simply like the chance to gift a good book at a moment‘s notice. I can‘t wait to see how @kindlitsy is used in the new year!

Season‘s Readings, everyone!

britt_brooke It has been so heartwarming and fun! Thanks a bunch for organizing it. Happy Holidays!! 🤗 6y
Kaye Such a good idea and a handy quick way to send a book to someone. No worrying about it getting lost in the mail or paying shipping costs. Press a button and it‘s theirs ! 6y

Wife Hello Joy. I‘m your #CupidGoesPostal match this year. USPS tracking says that the package I sent arrived well before 2/14, but I‘m concerned that I haven‘t seen an opening post from you. I know that you don‘t post often, but please let me know you received it. @mrbook @bookbabe @Avanders 7y
MayginReads @inwhichHeikereadsharder Did you end up getting your bookmark swap package? I didn't get mine and didn't see a post on your page, so was just curious if you also didn't get yours. I'm so sorry if that's the case! @Clwojick @LitsySwaps 7y

Had to sub out the real cat for a cat doorstop so that Santa survived but I wanted a dedicated post to say THANK YOU for organizing the #secretsantagoespostal this year.

Living outside the US, I am often excluded from this sort of thing. Postal is expensive, timelines are awful, customs is a pain and coordination is just generally harder but thanks to the 3 of you, I could to participate & it was so much fun! THANK YOU & Happy Holidays! #ssgp

GlassAsDiamonds @MrBook 😊😊😊 I did!! The Santa I sent went from Sydney, Australia to PA & the one I received came from Japan to India....

Thank you so, so much @alleyfam51699 - everything is so beautiful. The books all sound wonderful, and the desk supplies will definitely help brighten my work days! I absolutely love the necklace, and the bookmark, and the candle.

What a thoughtful and generous gift. I'm sorry again that it took so much drama and confusion to get here, but it was definitely worth the wait. Also, #Maya approves!

Maggie4483 @alleyfam51699 it was in the apartment office, just sitting on a shelf (with another package I had no idea was waiting for me). They were moving into a temporary unit last week because they're renovating their office, so maybe that's why they didn't see it when I called-and today was the first time I've been home during office hours to look myself. 7y

What a sweet conversation between Samantha and Santa. Purchased this yesterday at the The Book Shop in Hayward yesterday. I love how the girl and Santa share wishes and stories back and forth. The illustrations are so clever. Just a lovely book.
