My gifter mercmaid sent me a kick ass mix of books, after clearly doing some research.

For fun with my kids I got a Mad Libs book sure to provide hours of quality time.

A book of puzzles for myself (which my wife thinks she's going to steal from me).

A new novel I haven't read before involving non-sparkling vampires that looks really interesting.

And straight from my amazon wish list: The Essential Calvin & Hobbes! Which, by the way, she got me without even seeing my wishlist. Someone obviously has magical psychic powers here. Thank you so much mercmaid!

P.S. As if this display of awesome wasn't enough, it appears my gifter is also a really great person. Evidence:

P.P.S. Did anyone else just discover a new subreddit to frontpage from that link?
