Use this thread to post the list of books that you most want from your 2014 HF Forum Secret Santa. Please list a range of choices (between 5 and 10 books) -- include title, author, and binding (e.g., hard-cover, paperback, Kindle, Nook). Books do NOT have to be HF and do NOT have to be on your PBS WL. You probably do not want to list books that are likely to get posted to you within the next couple of months. Please post your list by November 3rd. I will send out friendly (and, maybe, not-so-friendly) reminders. As we know from previous years, book orders sometimes take awhile to be processed, or sometimes completely fail to be processed. Also, please list any allergies to smoke and/or pet hair that you want your Secret Santa to be aware of. Last Edited on: 10/17/14 10:45 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Seven for a Secret, Lindsay Faye
Midnight Rose, Lucinda Riley
Unraveled, M.K. Tod
Lies Told in Silence, M.K. Tod
Devil in the Marshalsea, Antonia Hodgson

Linda & I prefer over-sized paper back or hardback. We do not want any e-books. We love books and that's about the extent of it. Please, Secret Santa, no need to worry about any 'add-ons' or 'go-withs.' Seriously.
