So this was my first time doing the Bookmark exchange and it is probably the most thoughtful exchange I have ever done!

First I was surprised to come home to a cute package with a (very well drawn) alien on the back. When I opened it up I was excited to find many wrapped packages numbered and a letter that stated "START HERE!" I received a lovely letter from my secret Santa and quickly discovered we had much in common :)

In the first package I got a 50 books to read before you die book mark now my new favorite!! On package 2 my daughter pitched a fit to help so I caved and let her open it.. I got a book I actually have not read before Robinson Crusoe which I plan to start this weekend! In gift 3 I noticed the coincidence of the wrapping paper and my Boston Terrier "Beans" :D and to much suprise was a BEAUTIFUL book marker with my initial on it! Last but certainly not least I received the book The Birth Of Venus which sounds like something right up my alley so as soon as i finish the first I will be right on with this one.

A HUGE thanks to my secret santa for the most thoughtful gifts I will certainly enjoy and cherish them <3
