Book Exchange is My Favorite Holiday Thing
Yay Book Exchange and LaurenH! I think that’s the awesome one’s name; I may have forgotten the note at home while I’m visiting family 900 miles away. I’ll check on that next week to be sure 🤗
Book Exchange Thanks – Officially!

I was so excited when I opened the box that I started taking pictures of the books […]
Thank you, Alexis!
Alexis made my day–TWICE! I got two beautiful packages from her on two different days: one with The Night Circus and In the Night Garden, and the other with Lonesome Dove and a beautiful card. I’m so excited to have THREE books to get me started on CBR10! Lonesome Dove has languished on my TBR list for years. Thank you, Alexis!
