Good morning and happy Friday! I am super excited about this weekend because I mostly….
have no commitments 😀
Ok, yes we do have a Christmas party to go to tonight… and yes I have yet to put the tree up, and yes I still have some Christmas shopping to do…
BUT – I have no “have to do’s” and I have no time commitments. Does that make sense? 😛
Recently one of the two bookish Secret Santa programs I signed up for this year arrived at my door. The books were deliciously wrapped and it all looked so sweet I thought I would wait to open it until Christmas…
and then..
I stopped over to see Cass at Bonjour Cass! and read her post on the great bookish gifts she received AND then she talked about how her Secret Santa was Amy at Amy Reads… so I went there to see her great gift and well…
I caved.
This morning along with COFFEE CUP, I opened my precious gift and…
So there it is… Suey from It’s All About Books is my Secret Book Santa! And I have two gorgeous books to read and chocolates to enjoy and awesome book marks and chap-stick and some hand lotion. What a great way to start the morning 😀
This morning I am going to write a couple posts, continue listening to Curious Incident Of The Dog On The Night and finish reading Life As We Knew It. This afternoon I am going to go workout, catch up on laundry and do a little shopping.
Book Journey 
Yay, I’m so glad we convinced you to open your secret Santa gifts! They look great!
LOL – yes, it was fun to rip into them this morning! 😀
I’m getting ready for a trip up north–to Maine. Laundry is on my to do list. I love the secret book Santa idea! How fun.
Its fun Heidi, I did it last year too… its fun to get items from other states! 😀
Have fun in Maine!
She nailed it perfectly with the bookmarks for you. Way to go Suey! How fun!
They are fun aren’t they Angie? 😛
What wonderful gifts. Enjoy! I have actually read both of the books and enjoyed them.
Kailana, Oh I can not wait to dig into them! 😀
Could there be anything better than books and chocolate??? Not much, I’d say.
Lucky, lucky you! Have a great commitment-free weekend.
Not much Laurel… 😀 Thanks I hope your weekend is wonderful!
I love the bookmarks! And I agree with Laurel Rain – books and chocolate are the perfect companions. Great gifts, Sheila. Have a wonderful weekend.
Mary I actually hide really good chocolate behind a row of books in the Reading Room…a good book, nibbling on a really good piece of chocolate, and coffee… BLISS!
What a great gift! I am salivating over the truffles!
I had to hide them from myself… 😀
I love the quotes on those bookmarks! Lovely gift 🙂
I do too Alita 😀
This is the first weekend in a long time I haven’t had a weekend packed full of time committments either and I am excited too. Cheers to that!
No kidding, I have blogged a bit, read a bit, listened to some audio, dabbled in laundry and up town to look at Cricut items and get steaks for dinner… 😀
What great gifts!! I especially love the bookmarks!!
Have fun eating the chocolate and reading your books!
OOh I have already been in to the chocolates Vicki… now I have hid them… 😀
I’d say Suey knows you pretty well! Enjoy!
She did awesome Kathy 😀
It’s hard to go wrong with chocolate. 😀
Exactly! Its like kryptonite to me! 😀
Lucky ducky….Suey’s the best!!
Happy Holidays!
Yes – love my gift 😀
What wonderful Secret Santa gifts! Especially love the bookmarks! I couldn’t wait to open mine either, but I need to write a post and share my goodies. Enjoy!
What fabulous gifts!
Really? A weekend in December with no commitments? Wow, that sounds great!
What a wonderful package you received! That secret santa thing sounds like fun. I’ve been dying to read Ms. Pergrine’s… it sounds great! Enjoy your gifts –
Sue
