The Local Lit Scene

celebrating South African Literature beyond our past

Secret Santa arrived!

I participated in the Secret Santa Book Swap hosted by The Broke and The Bookish last year and my gift arrived all the way from Germany at the end of January.

I know it is a bit late to be posting this but I wanted to share my gift and say thank you! It was a lovely bookish gift and I was quite spoilt, which I have to say, I really never mind…

The Book Lovers Journal. I love this! It has pages for all the fabulous books I read, and pages for what I would like to read!

 One of our Thursdays is missing – Jasper Fforde and The 100 Foot Journey – Richard C Morais ( which sounds like a fabulous read!)

And two delicious chocolate bars.

Thank you so much to my Secret Santa – Marny from bookshistoryandtravel.blogspot.de it was a lovely surprise!

Book Blogger, holiday swop

While reading As usual, I need more bookshelves, I came across this brilliant idea!

bookbloggerholidayswap

The holiday swap is a way for book blogger’s to connect and celebrate the holiday spirit by sharing gifts. It’s done secret Santa style; all of the participants are randomly assigned a blogger to send a gift to, and these assignments are kept secret until the gift has been delivered. So no one knows who their gift is coming from!

You can sign up at the Book Blogger Holiday Swap website – why not join us? The Deadline is November 12, so hurry hurry!

If you fancy joining in, head on over to sign up! I have:-)
