Two days before Christmas, there was a book shaped box waiting when I got home. Having already received Stone, Sword, Table: Old Legends, New Voices I was not expecting a second Cannonball Book Exchange but llamareadsbooks went beyond my list of title suggestions and choose A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske too! In addition to specific titles, I had put forth categories, one of which was LGBTQ+ romance. I eagerly look forward to this book which T.J.

I’m a slacker (once again), but esmemoria was not!
I received these lovely books and cool space bookmarky things from esmemoria almost as soon as we got our book exchange people, and then I forgot about posting the picture. Thanks, esmemoria!
Thank you Ale!!!!!!
I **love** the book you picked, The Night Circus! I’ve wanted to read this for ages and it’s exactly up my alley. And I love the little fabric mug coasters. You made my week! Thank you so much!

I’m looking forward to reading this next year 🙂 Giving and receiving books is the best way to celebrate the holidays! Merry Book Exchange!
Book Exchange for me!
These look interesting. Thanks to KatSings!
