My rematcher came through in a big way. I came home to a a heavy Barnes and Nobles box to lug up to my room. Opened it up to four perfectly wrapped gifts, each with a gold note.

I mentioned that I cook everyday and read cookbooks like fine literature nowadays. For that I received Julia Child's bible on French cooking. I could definitely use some lessons.

I also explained that I loved comic books, especially Ed Brubaker's work, but I hadn't yet read his run on Captain America. Same with Thunderbolts and Warren Ellis. My santa worked hard to resolve that problem, and I'll likely be reading these two this weekend!

Finally, Santa was kind enough to throw in a little extra, a favorite of theirs that I had never heard of. I'm looking forward to reading Hounded. I'm looking forward to all of these books. Thank you so much!
