Welcome to another TTT! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas last week, and that you got lots of books or gift cards for books. I thought it would be fun to make this week’s topic “Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf ” so you can share your holiday haul! I can’t wait to see what you got! Here’s everything I received this Christmas. Several of them are from people who sent me books after last week’s TTT. Please read my thank-you’s below. <3
The first three are from my TBTB Secret Santa, Theresa (The Calico Books)!
Acting Merry by Martha Keyes
This is my favorite of all the Christmas books I read this year, and I’m so happy to have a copy for my collection!
The Endless War by Danielle L. Jensen
I love this series!
Servant of Earth by Sarah Hawley
These next three are from my mom!
Give Me Butterflies by Jillian Meadows
The Folklore of Forever by Sarah Hogle
Take Me Back by Meghan March
Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber
Susan from Bloggin’ Bout Books sent me this! Funny story… this arrived with no gift note so I had no idea who to thank. My friend told me that Amazon sometimes helps if the item was bought off a wishlist. I did a live chat and the person I spoke with told me he could only give me the first letter of your first name, but that if I could guess the right name he’d confirm it. Unfortunately, I know many people whose names begin with “S”. lol. After guessing wrong twice, he finally gave up and told me it was from Susan! I remembered the comment you left on my TTT last week and immediately knew it was from you. Thank you so much! I will be making this my first read of 2026.
My Merry Mistake by Courtney Walsh
Cindy from Cindy’s Book Corner sent me this, and I’m so excited! This was at the tippy top of my Christmas TBR this year and I’m going to try to squeeze this one in after my current Christmas read. I think I can do it! Thank you, Cindy!
A Suitable Arrangement by Martha Keyes
The gift note says this is from R. I know you’ve sent me a book before, and I still can’t figure out which R you are! But thank you SO much for this book! I have fallen in love with Martha Keyes’s books over the last couple years and this will be my first of her historical romances! I’m so excited.
The Secret Mistletoe Promise by Cressida McLaughlin
This was on sale on Christmas Day (and it’s still on sale at the time of writing this post), and I had to buy it with some of my Amazon credits!
What books have you added to your collection lately?
Wishing you a Happy New Year!
I hope 2026 brings you happiness, good health, and lots of page-turners. I’ll see you next year!
Looks like a fabulous new collection for the bookshelf! I hope you enjoy the stories in these pages. Enjoy – and hope you had a great Christmas. :)
They all look so good. Enjoy! Happy New Year!
What lovely gifts you received! Enjoy :)
Thanks for hosting TTT this year and into the next.
Wishing you a happy and safe new year!
Alchemy of Secrets is definitely one I want to read. I love Stephanie Garber. And who can resist a really good Christmas sale!
These look good. Enjoy and have a lovely new year!
Sorry, mine is my top ten books of 2025!
OOh very nice haul indeed! Lots of goodies from lots of good people! <3 I loved Alchemy of Secrets! One of my top reads of the year! Hope you enjoy it! Did not know that Amazon can help with figuring out who shopped from wishlists! That's kind of nice!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I hope you‘ll enjoy all your new shelf additions! Have a Happy New Year!
The first thing that hit me is how pretty each of these covers are. You have a lot of fun reading ahead of you!
What great gifts! Glad the Amazon help gave in. You could still be there guessing.
Happy reading!
Awesome haul!
Nice gifts!
Usually Santa doesn’t bring me books, even though that may sound surprising.
So I went with books added to my TBR
Merry Christmas and happy New Year, Jana! Looks like you added some fabulous titles to your list. Thanks for sharing.
I am pretty sure R is Rissi, shh, don’t tell ;) I finally finished My Merry Mistake last night and really enjoyed it. I hope you do too! Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and a good rest of the week! And, yay, for book additions to the shelves!!
I’ve WONDERED if it was Rissi! lol.
Thank you again for the book! I finished my book last night, so I should be able to start My Merry Mistake tonight! It is THICK! i wasn’t expecting that. lol.
Happy New Year to you, too! <3
It is think, but it doesn’t feel long! It was so good :)
I’m glad you got some books from your wishlist, Jana. Also happy for you that you had a nice holiday.
I’m just now seeing this post. I figured you would know who the book was from because of my comment on your TTT post. Sorry you had to go through all that to figure out who sent it! I’m glad Amazon was helpful, LOL.

Haha. That was the craziest week for me and I hadn’t had a chance to read my blog comment before the book arrived, so I was saying the names of people in my friend group who were doing a secret Santa thing at the time! When the guy said “Susan”, I wondered if it was you because you’re the only Susan I could think of! Then I clicked over to my blog and saw your comment and that confirmed it for me! Thank you again! I haven’t been able to read it yet because I got behind on some review commitments over the holidays, but I’m planning to read it soon! I am so excited!
