My Secret Santa sent me an anonymous message on Dec. 3 informing me that my gift was on the way (so quick!). It was all I could do to not wriggle in my chair in excitement, eagerly awaiting its delivery. Today, my gift arrived in a box from Amazon! Inside was a book box set of the Abhorsen Trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen), and another book called For Love of Mother-Not. I also got the most adorable musk ox plushie; its so soft and cuddly!

You did an amazing job, Secret Santa! I love musk oxen, who knew they even made plushies of them? It was a wonderful surprise. It's so cute and will live on my computer desk :)

The books are also quite exciting. I love to read, especially fantasy books, and these ones look like they will be good reads. I had never heard of the "For Love of Mother-Not" book, but it looks interesting. I was especially excited about Sabriel - something like fifteen years ago I remember trying to read it, but I was too young and it was too hard at the time so I gave it up not even a chapter in. I had completely forgotten about it, and I didn't even know it was part of a series! Really excited to read them :D

Edit: I just looked into "For Love of Mother-Not" and apparently it's one of eleven books in the series. You have no idea how happy that makes me, I've been going through a stint of not having much to read and now here I am now with a TON to read!

Thank you so much Santa, I love everything!
