I have an AWESOME secret santa! I was literally at the gym with my sweetie talking about how EXCITED I was for my arbitrary day present to arrive, and how I HOPED my SS would pick up on my hints that I REALLY wanted to read the GoT series! When we got home and checked the mailbox - there was the smiling Amazon.com box I was hoping for (after several amazon packages had been delivered for EVERYONE but ME for the last 2 days!) I was SO excited to see the entire series of GoT books, and such perfect timing, since we're between seasons! I cannot WAIT to devour these novels, and finally be "in the know" as a reader on /r/gameofthrones! THANK YOU secret santa! I was literally JUST saying how I wanted to read this series, and I ALMOST bought it myself last week when I was out of town on vacation!
