I wish I had a sister like my big strong Daddy :(
I’m in. Based on the east coast.

I’ll post what I read this year and my opinions later on to give my Santa some guidelines.

Also claiming one of the MYSTERY gifts.

Adding more background on myself.

I'm a big sci-fi reader, mostly the classic stuff. I really like post apoc stuff. I haven't read Wind up girl or the Atwood one.

This year I went on a huge King binge, i'd only read IT and Stand previously, and found him very engaging. I've been reading chronologically, next up should be Christine.

Lately I've been enjoying a lot of non-fiction. I read David Simon's book, the wire is my favorite show, and Homicide blew my mind. Also some business books for school but that's boring.

My not comprehensive good reads

I love me some metafiction, 'interactive' fictions (e.g., game books, 'puzzle' books), and fictions created via non-traditional methods (e.g., shuffle literature, AI-written fiction, etc). So, something like that would be great.

Disclaimer: not your santa

But could you specify what you've read already? Or link to good reads? So you don't end up with S and that book about cancer and sports that's made out of loose pages if you've read them already.

Also I like that too so I could use the recs.

A package arrived today! Opened it because I'm impatient:



:monocle: Wow!

Inside were two collected volumes of Lynd Ward's woodcut novels and this really cool 3D card. Thank you so much, Sham, I can't wait to dive into these!

Chip, open the card. Isn't there a secret code on the back? With some cryptic hint in the text as to how to decode it.

I'll post mine later.

There's a mystery afoot!

Hello!

Happy orthodox christmas everyone! Sorry for being the trouble participant this year! My Santee should have 2 books in his/her house by now with more to come.

I have no excuse, but I do have some photos.

I received books and a secret message:



God, what a challenge, I'll try to be up to it this year.



I've read dying earth and wasn't blown away, I should give Vance a second chance. Thanks!



I LOVE this book! So yeah, I've already read it. But when I tried to read it i couldn't find it physically so i had to resort to less than ethical means! Amazing gift, I still can't find a hardcover copy in amazon.



And this one I assume because of what I mentioned about Homicide by David Simon. Looks like it could be very interesting, thanks again!

The messages:



This one may have been cut short by Amazon? TS Spivet is a very fun book that ABSOLUTELY shits the bed, the story does NOT resolve well secret santa.

And what i particularly feel guilty about, delaying the resolution of the secret code:



Once again sorry everyone, specially my Santee (more gifts soon!) and the organizer
