Swap & Secret Santa Reveals!

I love the holidays, especially any kind of swaps, exchanges, secret santas, and white elephants!!!!
this year I chose to do two different ones and host the 1st Becoming Books Secret Santa.

up first is A Bookish Christmas hosted by Oh, Chrys! and Disquietus Reads

Bloggers exchanging one book under $20 with one another.

I came back from Thanksgiving to find this pretty gold package from Helen over at My Novel Opinion!!! I was so excited I opened it immediately and then felt guilty so I wrapped it back up... haha. A couple days later I couldn't wait any longer so I ripped that sucker open. 

And inside...

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas!!!!!!!!!! I have not had the chance to start this series yet and when I went to YALLFest in October they had run out of the series to buy. So Helen knew I needed my heart healed and this is perfect!!!!

Next... I signed up for The Broke and the Bookish Secret Santa 

This was a Secret Santa swap was arranged to send larger swap packages with 2-3 books and goodies. And boy was I spoiled! 

See all the pretties!!! My Secret Santa was Liz from Consumed by Books and I was so shocked by all the potential. Honestly, I was overwhelmed. So like the first package I let them all sit there for a couple days. Then I couldn't wait anymore so...

Ta da!!!! 

These picks from Liz were perfect! Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and Ope Road Summer I had already read but didn't own so I was excited to add these to my stacks. I hadn't read Pointe or Garden Spells but Liz has so I have good faith she won't steer me wrong. I also scored some chocolates :) super cute thank you notecards (which I collect on a very healthy level) and fancy schmancy pens. Not to mention a really cute card with details about all of Liz's picks for me. Win!

Please leave some comment love for these two awesome ladies!!!! Did you participate an any exchanges or swaps this season? Tell me about it.
