A Hot Read for Winter Shows Up In the Mail.

Just before Christmas, I won a 'Baby, It's Cold Outside' by Addison Fox on The Romance Bandits' site.  After a few weeks, I received an e-mail asking if I had received it and I said I hadn't.  She had forgotten to send it; so she quickly did after Christmas and after I told her I had been published with Bibliotastic.com.  
Today, I received the book in the mail and it was a lovely surprise to open my PO Box and find just the one single item of the blue pick-up card there waiting for me.  This is my fourth book I've received over the last year from this site; and I've yet to read, so I've got all four of them on my reading pile for this year.  Along with this book came a bookmark - marketing the book - and a note from Addison.  The book is also signed by the author!  How brilliant is that?  Thank you Addison for sending it all this way.  I look forward to reading it!

A Second Secret Santa Gift

Today, an Express Post Parcel arrived in my PO Box from Romy86.  She sent me another one because of the confusion with the fire that consumed the Australia Post truck a few weeks ago; and both of us not knowing if my parcel was in amongst the ones lost.  So, she sent me another  one.
I think that's the nicest and most generous thing I've ever had somebody do.  Inside it was two books and a handful of wrapped lollies.  Very nice.  Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Romy86; I'll get in and scoff into the lollies and read the books over the next year... if I get through the massive huge tomes I've set myself this year.
