Thank You Fun with Holiday Swap!

This was the second Holiday gift swap I participated in.  This is hosted by a group of bloggers who set up a separate Holiday Swap Blog.

I got a wonderful package from my Santa, Maria at The Serpentine Library.
Again I received two books from my Wish list plus some other goodies.

Unwrapped!

The package consisted of: a lovely card, a metal Bookmark, two pretty pens, two notebooks and Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, Book 1) by Cassandra Clare and Dragon Actually (Dragon Kin, Book 1) by G. A. Aiken.

The very cool bookmark reads:  The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Thank you Maria!

Now some of you might notice that I got two hardback copies of Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, Book 1) and if you read my It's Monday post you know that I am listening to the book on Audible.  How did that happen? Certainly not the fault of my Santas.  I did list that at the top of my wish list when I did the list in November. Then, not thinking too hard about it, when it came time for me to download my Audible selections in November I grabbed Clockwork Angel.  So I guess that means I have two copies to share. :o)
One will be one of the Giveaway prizes in the Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop that starts tonight.

Thanks to Secret Santa!

Most of you know from my blog that I do love to give gifts! But I like to get them too - who doesn't?

I am pleased to share the great gifts I got.

Secret Santa was hosted by the lovely Kate at The Neverending Shelf.  My first gift came in the first week of December from Ivy at Ivy Reads.
She sent me two books from my Wish List.
Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, Book 1)
