Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Secret Santa! exclaimed my daughter, when she learned that three out of SIX books we got in the mail were for her. But when she found out what books she got, she was absolutely exhilarated. A book about space‽ For me‽ (yes, she used an interrobang, audibly). I trust it was your intent to bring a smile to our faces, but you cannot even start to imagine how happy you made my daughter. Now she is in her room, emiting squeals of delight!

The Michael Ende books are something I grew up with and have a very fond memory of, but we did not have them in English (which happens to be my daughter first language). Even though you could not have known it, by this gift alone you would have made my day!

The Leibowitz books were not necessarily unexpected, but I am ever so happy to have them for my own! Yay!

Finally, The Prehistory of the Mind is a book I have not heard of yet, but it looks super interesting. I look very much forward to reading it very soon!

P.S: The small, thematic treats in the package + heartfelt notes inserted into the books were a further icing on the cake.
