To find out who your Santa is, you have to log out -- otherwise you can see everyone's page except yours.

When I did this, at first I still couldn't see whose mine was. That was because I had chosen to make my request private. Luckily I was able to go back to the page where I'd made the request, click "edit," and make it public, and then I could see it after logging out again.

I finally received one of my books from SantaThing, so now I've looked and discovered my Santa was you! Thank you so much -- I have received To Say Nothing of the Dog and am so excited to read it.

Lee is Connie's webmaster, and he is really liking it. Connie herself says that people should wait to read it until All Clear was out as they are each 1/2 of a book. The website is at www.conniewillis.net.

I'm glad that you liked my choices for you. I couldn't help but feel very uncertain about them, we have such different tastes in books.

Noticed you liked Light in August, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter)in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit:

Curse you for being the first one to enter the Templar, AZ collection in librarything! I was so excited when I got mine today, and here I am beaten to the punch.
