So much fun chatting with you guys though... And thanks GG for hosting.

This is great Kiri - I love these kind of facta! Lol, not quite sure what that say about me .... oh well.

Thanks. Glad to know it's of benefit to someone. ?
p.s. This list excludes 2016 cause I don't have that in there yet.. so not entirely complete.

While I'm sad the swap is over, I think I'll enjoy the book I grabbed. Thanks to GG for hosting and to everyone who made the hard choices for the best of books. I so enjoy this swap and look forward to it each and every year. Hoping next year is bigger and better.
