This year, as a new member of the book blogging community, I decided to participate in two different bookish Secret Santa events. I love books and I always feel extra generous at Christmas, so I didn't even hesitate when I signed up for both!
EVENT #1: MY BOOKWORM SANTA
(Hosted by Michelle of Book Briefs & Bree of The Magic Attic)
RECEIVED:
I received these two awesome books from my Secret Santa, Heather from Book Stacks on Deck!
Lola & The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong
SENT:
I sent a copy of Inheritance by Christopher Paolini to my Secret Santa, Amanda (a.k.a. Coranne) of Short and Sweet Reviews. I haven't heard word from her, but I hope she received it! Inheritance is the conclusion to the Inheritance Cycle, which began with Eragon and last let off with Brisingr. I loved this series and it was the book that I immediately wanted to get her when I saw it on her wishlist.

As Michelle has already mentioned, I surprised her with a copy of Divergent by Veronica Roth off of her wish list! I loved Divergent (it's my favorite read of 2011) and I definitely wanted her to have it and (hopefully) enjoy it as much as I have!
Event #2: A Broke & Bookish Secret Santa 2011

RECEIVED:
Matched by Ally Condie

I had so much fun participating in these two events! Thanks to Michelle, Bree & Jamie who worked tirelessly to make sure things ran as smoothly as possible. Your hard work is definitely appreciated!
Thank you soo much for Divergent. I did a happy dance when I opened it! You rock!! Thanks for participating. I got my roommate Lola for christmas this year!
ReplyDeleteThis was my first Christmas as a book blogger too, and I loved participating in My Bookworm Santa. You got and sent some great stuff! I have Lola and the Boy Next Door (won it a couple months ago) and I can't wait to read it. I read The Summoning a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. And I still need to read Divergent. I think I'll have to bump that up on my 2012 reading list!
ReplyDeleteLoving your blog. New follower. :-)
