So I had some tough weeks in Uni with many deadlines for reports, an critical assay and a laboratory course, when I recived my package which contained Jim Butchers "Storm Front", the first book of the urban fantasy series about the supernatural P.I. Harry Dresden. To be honest I did not know the series before but I was instantly hooked and it gave me the a good distraction on my daily hour train drive from and to Uni without thinking about the deadlines and stuff and I immediately buyed the next books of the series and read up until volume 4 at the moment devouring the books one by one :)

But just as I wanted to post my gift I found a note in my mailbox that there is another package is waiting for me in the post office so I grabbed it and recieved a second gift and found "The Drunken Botanist" by Amy Stewart inside. A book which was on my wishlist for a long time, which is a great book describing about 150 plants which can be used to make alcohol from common to exotic, how to distinguish between the good and the cheap stuff, which plant are used to flavour some of this kinds of alcoholic brewages and finaly which plant can be used to prepare great, freh cocktails with this along with the recipes. Thank you very much for this Santa The Dresden files are a great read and I cant wait to prepare some of this cocktails
