I checked my tracking number today and saw that my gift was out for delivery. There was nothing else to do but put on flip-flops and a bathrobe and go out to the mailbox RIGHT NOW. And I was totally rewarded!

My Secret Santa got me two books: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Both have been very highly recommended by people I know, so I'm really excited to get to read them! In fact, I was just talking about TNC with a friend last night, if you can believe it, and was going to add it to my wishlist. Secret Santa, you wrote me an apologetic note that these books might not be the amazing gift I wanted, but they really were! I love reading and getting me books was totally the best choice. Thank you so much!
