My Secret Santa gift from the Book Blogger Holiday Swap arrived and I couldn’t wait to rip the paper off and see what was inside… Complete joy! two wonderful, and completely different books from my wishlist and super hand-crocheted bookmarks to go with them.
The books were Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor, a wonderful author I only discovered this year, and First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde from his supremely inventive Thursday Next litcom detective series. They both go onto the reading pile for after Christmas. As for the bookmarks – I have never learned to crochet, and they are so neatly done and lovely bright Christmassy colours.
A huge thank you goes to Meghan at Medieval Bookworm for her brilliant choices and great crochet skills. Thank you again and very best wishes for a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The books sound like great ones and the bookmarks really are lovely! 🙂
I'm glad you're happy with your gift! I do hope the books are good and I'll look forward to your reviews of them, as I haven't read either. =)
Thank you again Meghan. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2010.
