I really wish I knew your name. I wish I knew who you were so that I could thank you directly for this amazingly thoughtful and generous gift. I mean...you'll get an email notifying you I've received your gift...and you said you'd read it...BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.

It all started with some good ol' orangered in my mailbox. I got a message from my lovely gifter, saying that they lived in the area and would like to hand deliver the package...yet still remain anonymous. They suggested a park not a half mile from my house, which was a totally perfect spot and made the hunt all that more exciting!

They let me know that the package had been delivered earlier today (Thank you, by the way, for driving ~30 minutes to deliver the package, that was very kind of you! I wish I could reimburse you for the gas!). I was actually out at the mall with a friend, helping her pick out an outfit for some gathering later in the week so I freaked out and didn't know if I would make it there before someone else found it. I quickly called my sister who was at home and asked if she could get it for me. She graciously accepted and went on her way to find the package "between the blue fence and random equipment". I wish I would have asked her to take a picture, she said it was a great hiding spot! My only regret is that I couldn't pick it up myself!

Anyway, I got home from multiple hours of sauntering through the mall with a desperate friend (who, by the by, found an adorable outfit. I know, the suspense was killing you, wasn't it?), kicked off my shoes once I entered my room and TA-DA! Would you look at what was on my bed! A lovely package with a note and...bright red duct tape. @___@

The note, once removed, described each book without giving away exactly what they were. I deeply appreciate your descriptions and opinions about each one! To be quite honest, I'm really excited to read all of them. I'm always open when it comes to reading new things, and I think each title you've given me will keep me thinking and asking questions throughout each book. I look forward to actually reading them and discussing them with friends and family, and maybe you if you're up for it!

Also included in the pictures is one of my dogs enjoying that wrapping tissue. As soon as I sat it down on the ground they started fighting over it...the photo does not accurately represent their feud.

THANK YOU SO very much for all of the time and thought you put into the letter and book choices, as well as the actual delivery of said package! This is the most thoughtful and over-the-top gift I've ever received from these exchanges, I don't think I could have gotten a better match! :)

Thank you once again, mystery redditor! I hope you get everything you asked for and then some!
