21 posts | 3 read
Christmas is the time for miracles, mayhem, and holiday romance in these wonderful stories from four of today's most beloved authors. . . "Mister Christmas" by Fern Michaels A week before Christmas, attorney Claire O'Brien is summoned to Ireland to change her wealthy client's will--only to encounter resistance from his handsome nephew. Will Claire be forced to spend the holidays up close and personal with her irresistible Irish nemesis? "The Yellow Rose of Christmas" by Marie Bostwick Though Miss Velvet Tudmore wrote off romance years ago, rumor has it she has a secret admirer. And when her surprise suitor promises to reveal himself at the annual Christmas ball in Too Much, Texas, Velvet starts to wonder: is it ever too late to find love? "Nightmare on Elf Street" by Laura Levine Aside from the mortifying costume, how bad can a gig as a mall Santa's elf be? Jaine Austen finds out when she's teamed up with the Santa from Hell. But things go from bad to worse when he's found murdered on the job--and Jaine is a suspect. Now all she wants for Christmas is to find the real killer. . . "Room at the Inn" by Cindy Myers When a Rocky Mountain blizzard forces Barb and her husband to spend Christmas in a remote Colorado cabin with their fellow travelers, Barb struggles to cope--especially when her husband reveals troubling news. But sometimes a holiday shake-up is all a woman needs to discover what she's truly made of. . ..

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks, you nailed this! Especially the books: I gasped with delight at every single one, and I LOVE that you used my TBR. Plus adorable Christmassy goodies and coveted @BookBabe bookmarks! And the gorgeous tote - what is it from? I love the design but I don't know the book! Even more fun! Thank you so much for a terrific package!!!! #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange @MrBook @Avanders

MrBook Ooh! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks So happy you love everything!!!! I tried to pick random off your list!! I got the bag at a place called Earthbound... I don‘t think it‘s book related, I just loved it! So glad you like everything!!! 😘❤️😘❤️ 7y
ferskner @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I love it too! I really like old maps (I used to work in a map collection, although those weren't old), so I love the design. I saw everything you sent when I got home from Christmas travels last night and got all excited again! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ferskner yay!!! I‘m so happy you love everything!!! 💞💞💞 7y

Mine had been sent and it's now at least in the province it was headed to. It should make the deadline. I haven't yet received mine but the suspense of who my secret 🎅 Litten is, is driving me crazy!!

In case my secret 🎅 is still working on my package. I'm still working on my gift too.

No favorite song, but I spent my fandom years listening to The Police and still like them a lot.
I love grocery shopping
I like scarves
Red?
Salt.
Pizza and pasta....all the things I really shouldn't eat. Not sweets.
I like trying different ones.
French fries

To help my #secretsantagoespostal! @MrBook wrote me and said you could use some clues.

1. A really excellent contemporary romance
2. Bukowski. Any of them. (Insert puking emoji here)
3. Nope. But if you'd like to contribute to the charity that got my brother his dog, here it is http://www.sheltertosoldier.org/
4. Used books smell funny. Not a fan.
5. Prefer stand alone.

Bookish merch? I don't use bookmarks. Like almost anything else bookish.🎅

FountainBookstore Something from the state you're from would be cool. A postcard or something. 7y

I got my match 4 hours ago and I've practically got the whole thing planned already! 🎉🎉🎉 (That's what happens when your match has a super long TBR! 😉) Lots still to do and I'm drowning a bit in swaps right now (3 major + 2 bookmark matches!!) but I think I've got it under control. I may need a few months off after this but I'm still pleased as punch to be a part of this. 😘 #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange

laurieluna Yeah I'm all sorted too 😂 now terrified my match will post answers to all the quizzes and my purchases will be all wrong 🙈 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I can never wait to get started. I planned my whole box today!! 7y

Mine and the hubs secret Santa packages on top of a closet. The idea for putting them up there was "out of sight, out of mind" but it's not working for me. I'm wicked excited for the 21st! Can't wait to open our boxes, but more so to see how our matches like theirs! Can't wait! ? ????#SummerSantaGoesPostal #SummerSolsticeBookExchange @BookishMarginalia

coffeenebula I'm excited for my match to open her box! She keeps buying more books and it's so nerve wracking 😂 8y

hermyknee I'm so excited, too!!! I'm ready now!!! Can't wait!!! 8y
Nat_Reads I'm very much concerned/anxious about my person liking her stuff!!! 8y
That-Bookish-Hiker My husband suggested I open mine and pretend I opened it on the 21st and my reply was, "uh no those are not the rules!" He is such a trouble maker lol. (edited) 8y
LeahBergen I know!!!!!! 😬 8y
Smangela @Nat_Reads I worry about that too, but then I think about how I'd be excited about anything and I'm more reassured. Even if I were to end up with something I wouldn't want or already have, it can become a gift to pass on :) 8y
GypsyKat @coffeenebula I hear you! I promised myself that I would severely limit my book buying until after the 21st. 8y
GypsyKat @CouronneDhiver @TrishB @DiruVamp Your matches are cutting it close! But I have seen a few posts lately about shipping boxes out this week, so I hope you all get them in time! 🤞 8y
GypsyKat @hermyknee @LeahBergen Haha! Right? It's too exciting! 😆 8y
GypsyKat @Nat_Reads I am too! But I know that everything I picked was well thought out, and from the heart. I'm sure you did the same thing. It'll be fine. 💗 8y
GypsyKat @That-Bookish-Hiker Hahaha! What a rebel! I jokingly said the same thing to my hubs, but he immediately knew I was kidding because I'm such a stickler for rules! 😂 8y
GypsyKat @Smangela Exactly. I think it's all going to be great! 😊 8y
Nat_Reads I'm so excited to open and to see everyone else's boxes!! 8y
DiruVamp @GypsyKat thank you!! 8y

I'm tracking mine and the hubs packages to our secret Santa matches. They should both be delivered today even though one is on the opposite coast! I'm really excited to see when they get them! 📚📦😎🎅🏼 #SummerSantaGoesPostal #SummerSolsticeBookExchange @BookishMarginalia

LauraAndTaraAndBooks I did this too, compulsively clicking refresh every 10 minutes!! 😂 8y
That-Bookish-Hiker My package wasn't suppose to get to my secret Santa until today but I checked last night and it was delivered Friday! I was surprised at how quick it got there lol. 8y
GypsyKat @LauraAndTaraAndBooks @That-Bookish-Hiker I just checked again and mine was delivered. It's probably mildly pathetic how excited I am about all of this! 😂 8y
