I arrived at my mother's house yesterday, and found a surprise--my package from my Book Blogger Holiday Swap Secret Santa! It was a surprise because I had forgotten I had used her address...and I had left home feeling sad that I hadn't gotten it. But there it was! Yay!
My Santa, Gaskella, picked out two books that made me very happy--The Dead Gentleman, by Matthew Cody (time travel parallel New York, by the author of Icefall), and The Nightwood, by Robin Muller (a beautiful picture book retelling of Tamlynne [sic]).
Thank you very much indeed, Gaskella!!! And thank you to all who worked behind the scenes, organizing the book blogger holiday swap ! It was such fun sending off my own present, and receiving books I wanted in turn!
Hi Charlotte - glad you liked your books. As I'm in the UK, I took the easy option and ordered direct from your Amazon list. I was late too, so I'm glad it got to your Mum's house in time!
ReplyDeleteI too love re-tellings of folk and fairy tales etc, and the Tamlynne book in particular looked lovely. Hope you enjoy them.
Merry Christmas!
