And signed copies of her books. Because this year I took part in the Blogger Secret Santa gift swap, and Kristin Cashore was my Secret Santa!!!!! Am I not lucky?
I feel especially lucky because Fire was on my Christmas wants list (see post below). And no one had gotten it for me, and I would have cried at Christmas. I haven't read it yet--although I did win an ARC at one point, it seems to have gotten lost in the mail, and by the time it was actually released, I was reading for the Cybils, so I am very happy.
And the cookies are very, very good!
Thank you Kristin!
Just a side note: today is the last day to enter my giveaway of my ARC of Conspiracy of Kings, which feels nicely symmetrical to me--balancing my happiness of today with another reader's happiness tomorrow. (And I guess, being extremely unselfish, that I could send the winner of my giveaway a few of my Kristin Cashore cookies, too...).
She writes, she bakes, she is Full of Awesome. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThe people who get involved with all of these memes and swaps impress me just SO much.
Best Secret Santa gift ever. Even without the cookies. I loved Graceling and can't wait to read Fire. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's such an awesome Secret Santa gift!
ReplyDelete*is hoping to get both Graceling and Fire for Christmas*
Lucky girl!! I just finished Fire and it was made of awesome. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, I've had some thrills as a new writer, but I've got to tell you, getting the chance to sign my books to you under the name of "Your Secret Santa" was so much fun! (Almost as fun as baking a pile of cookies ^_^)
ReplyDeleteYou hit Secret Santa Gold. Very Cool
ReplyDeleteYou are SOOOO lucky, Charlotte. Amazingly lucky. Wow. Too cool. (If I were you, I'd be really tempted to frame the books and cookies. Honestly.)
ReplyDelete(Were they good? The cookies; I know the books are.)
I was secretly jealous of you when I did the random assigning of the Santas :P I'm thrilled to see you so happy! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing gift! Cookies! Signed books! Me = jealous.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are going to love FIRE; I read it last week and had such a wonderful time with it.
Wow! I'm only a little jealous. How cool for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. I'm so happy for you. Cookies and books are a lovely combination (as long as one doesn't accidentally get cookie crumbs in the books, as I am wont to do).
ReplyDeleteOh I hear you viz crumbs! One reason why I like to re-read books over and over again is that at some point it becomes too late too worry about food messes...
ReplyDeleteThey were very good cookies, but I wouldn't have dreamed of reading Fire while eating them!
And I would be jealous of me too, if I wasn't me!
That is one of the coolest secret santa gifts ever! I've already read both of those books, but would still have been dancing around the house if I would have received a gift like that. :)
