Merry Christmas to all!
Thank you ALL so much for following the blog this month. The visits have been growing steadily and loads of people have subscribed to the posts and have been visiting each day. Here’s hoping that you’ll stick around in the New Year and enjoy the masses of reviews we still have to get through, and all the new books yet to come that we don’t know about yet. It’s great that the genre has so much support.
I’d also like to thank the pantheon of willing authors who volunteered their time and their possessions to blog for your enjoyment and to give away such great prizes. I hope you all got a kick out of the posts – what a great variety of posts there were, too – and that you all won a prize. If you didn’t then I’m sorry about that! Better luck next year.

Hurrah for authors, winners and prizes, and thanks to Erastes for organising this again.
Was fun and very informative, too. Until next year, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
This was so much fun. I get up really early fo work, so I would read everyday before work. Thanks for doing this. Thanks to everyone who participated, the stories were wonderful. Really gave me the Christmas spirit.
Barbara, the dice like you! (What, didn’t everyone use their old Dungeons and Dragons dice to pick a random commenter like I did?)
I’m so happy to have been a part of this. Merry Christmas, Happys Holidays, and a Happy New Year, everyone!
Winner, winner chicken dinner! I’m thrilled to be one of the winners! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Thank you to Erastes for organising this and all the authors for their fun and interesting contributions. Especially Elin Gregory for obvious reasons from the prize list!
My second year participating in this and I’ve enjoyed every post and learnt so much. Thank you everyone and especially Erastes for all her hard work. 😀
Whoop! Didn’t expect a win! Thank you, AV, and Erastes for throwing this shindig… Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much to all of the authors and for Erastes for her hard work in putting it together! Merry Christmas to all!
Hey, if you could contact me at lee(dot)rowan at yahoo (dot) com, I’d appreciate it; I don’t have any contact info for you.
Wow, the dice did like me, didn’t they! Makes up for no presents from husband – well, I did get some but only the ones I’d bought for him to give me otherwise I really wouldn’t have got anything. This event was fun. Thanks and congrats to everyone!
Hi Erastes,
thank you so much for organizing and hosting the advent calendar! I realized a bit late that I have actually WON! Just gently poking you cause it’s near the end of January
A rather late Happy New Year!
Hi Erastes, I’m just giving a gentle poke too! I know its not quite the end of Jan but it is getting close now. Am happy to contact author if its easier?
