My "santa" really rocked this gift exchange, getting me not only a book in a series I need to read for my research (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire), but also The Resurrectionist: which includes detailed anatomy drawings of mythological animals.

I love this! They even included a beautiful old-world style bookmark and this, frankly gorgeous, book cover/protector. I grow about nine different kinds of pink and red roses around my house, how did they know???

Thank you SO MUCH, r/LastPlaceVictory
