My book exchange present happened to arrive just a few days after I left for a week-long vacation to visit family on the East Coast. Sadly, I had to wait until I returned to open the amazing gifts inside. But happily, my partner kept everything safe until I returned, and opening these was one of the first things I did when I made it back. (Hence why I sound so tired in the video.)

My Santa - /u/spirit_junkie - set not one, but three new books! One of my requests in my description was to receive books that my Santa had read and liked, which my Santa apparently picked up on, as all of the books came with helpful descriptions/recommendations that indicated why Santa liked them!

The books were: Final Girls by Riley Sager, All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda, and Flowertown by S. G. Redling. All are thrillers, which is one of my favorite genres.

I look forward to digging into all of these as soon as I finish what I'm reading now (Dune, by Frank Herbert).

Thank you, Santa!!
