This year I took part in the Book Bloggers Holiday Swap. I sent out a holiday gift to a book blogger. Since I happened to know she loved YA novels and chocolate, I sent her Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Twilight: The Graphic Novel. For some fun little extras I included a bookmark, Harry Potter stickers, and a Twilight blank journal. I hope she liked it! She may not know this yet, but she's also getting a package of young adult titles from AG Press--one of the perks of being an editor.
Giving was the fun part, but today I received a gift from my book blogger Secret Santa. She turned out to be Mariah from A Reader's Adventure.
She sent me:
*The Heights by Brian James, young adult, contemporary retelling of Wuthering Heights (which just happens to be one of my all-time favorites!)
*A bookmark for Tera Lynn Childs' Forgive My Fins
*A bookmark for Suzanne Young's Naughty List Series, signed by Suzanne Young herself
*Two stickers for The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
Mariah darling, your gifts were thoughtful and are truly appreciated. (How did she know I love stickers?) I had so much fun with the Book Blogger Holiday Swap, I'll do it again next year.

Erin: Thanks so very much for the Holiday Swap package! I've posted about it here. What fun! (And it appears that I've got more fun coming? Wow! Thank you!)
I hope you enjoy the gift :)
I very much enjoyed your book, Mr. James, even though the ending was so sad. In spirit it was quite faithful to the original. I wish I'd had the option of reading 'The Heights' when I was 17, when I didn't have a romantic bone in my whole body and couldn't appreciate Emily Bronte yet. I would have gotten 'The Heights.'
