Thank you so much Carolyn. My #aussiesecretsanta was a fabulous surprise package, so many lively touches. Apologies for the delay in posting, a busy time for our family. ❤️

I have been recovering from my knee surgery in hospital and rehab and finally got home to open my #aussiesecretsanta gifts. Thank you so much. I certainly need some reading material while I continue my journey with new knees. I love the fairy bread ornament too.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Good luck with your continued recovery! I bet it‘s good to be home. Love the fairy bread ornament too! 5d

Rissreadswithcats Yay! I hope you like what I picked for you. I loved both of these books and couldn‘t resist when I saw them on your TBR list. Good luck with your recovery x 4d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I‘d already decided on what to get you but ended up deep in your GR to read shelf and Motherfucking Sharks struck me as so hilarious, I‘d one click purchased it before I‘d stopped laughing. Merry Christmas! 1w

BethM I‘m very intrigued by that shark book…. 1w

Rissreadswithcats @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I‘ll make sure I read it soon so I can let you know what it‘s like! Hopefully hilarious! 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats, 🦈 I couldn‘t resist reading it 😂 but hopefully you do find it more amusing than not (edited) 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BethM, I explained the plot to my Mum - she hadn‘t asked 🤣 1w

Rissreadswithcats So you have already read it?! @thegirlwiththelibrarybag (edited) 1w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats, I did 🦈 couldn‘t resist 4d

Rissreadswithcats @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I‘ve just started it! 4d

Thank you for my #AussieSecretSanta gifts @Teresereading 😊. I love them 😍. Sophie Laguna is a favourite author, and I didn‘t yet have this one, her latest. I don‘t think it was on my #tbr list 🤔, so well done. #ozfiction
Thank you @thegirlwiththelibrarybag for enabling the spread of Christmas joy across this wide, brown land 🙏. Merry Christmas All 🎄❤️.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I love adult fiction with not yet adult protagonists, this one is on my tbr too. I have a long term goal of making a library display of books that fit in this category, not something you can key word search though, so progress is slow! 1w

CarolynM Merry Christmas Serena 🌲💕 1w

LeeRHarry Merry Christmas! 🎄 1w

Rissreadswithcats I didn‘t know Sophie had a new book out either! (edited) 1w

I got a little distracted by watching the new Taskmaster Champion of Champions episode - because some true icons were competing - I made myself a cup of tea and devoured the chocolate ⭐️

Thank you to my Santa @MrsMalaprop - everything is beautiful and I look forward to reading both books.

The Amber Owl & The Incandescent have both been looking forlornly at me all throughout the year, so now that I have them at home…

I just started opening my #AussieSecretSanta package, and only got as far as this little treasure, which I promptly read from cover to cover. Thank you @Teresereading 🙏.
Now, to open the rest 🤗📚🎄😁.

Ok well, it took me a minute to remember where I stashed this (I yeeted it right to the back of bottom shelf of my pantry. Totally normal spot) AND now it‘s opening time!

Merry Christmas Eve to my fellow #AussieSecretSanta‘s

Now that I‘ve had my birthday - I can concentrate on Christmas…

We are a week out from #aussiesecretsanta opening day - so this is my last check in. I‘m hoping everything is either in transit or received…

Unrelated but I love this statue, and I couldn‘t resist taking a photo when I saw the Santa hat when I wandered past it on Wednesday.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats 🤣🤣🤣 I always think of the opening sequence to Lift Off when I walk past it… 2w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @MrsMalaprop, thank you! Merry Christmas! 2w

Jhullie I haven‘t been home for over a week. I asked my son but he said he had collected so many parcels he didn‘t know which one I meant. 2w
