I woke up for work around 5:30pm (I work 7pm-7am). There was a package on my doorstep and its contents made me both elated and upset at the same time...

I was VERY happy with the books that my Santa sent me, but I was SUPER annoyed because I had to go to work. My gf came home as I was leaving. She saw the gifts on the table and got mad at herself for missing the Book Exchange deadline. Then, she went on to tell me that her plans for the night had suddenly changed as she poured herself a glass of wine and made her way to the couch. She read about 3/4 of We Have Always Lived in the Castle - and only stopped after realizing that she had too much to drink; she repeated one page 3 times. I was jealous. Glad I have this three-day weekend, though!

Thanks for an awesome first Books Exchange!!!
