"What in my post history could have prompted THIS?"

...is the thought I had immediately upon opening my gift this morning. In front of me sat the sad shell of a book mistakenly called "literature" known as Twilight: Eclipse.

And a snitch. My secret Santa got something right! As the quidditch player I am, I snatched my hand out and grabbed the snitch before it got away (and the crowd goes wild!) and sat it on my desk, where it looks. Um. Hello. Amazing. Yeah. I own a snitch and you don't (probably). I can't tell you how long I've wanted one of these!

I gaze back down to the book. Well. This will be a curious read, I suppose. Then again, I should have read the post-it note.

"Less of this"

And "MORE OF THIS" I read as I flip open the pages, to find that it actually is the shell of a book, an impressively concealed copy of Stephen King's Gunslinger! When I worked at Barnes and Noble, people came in all the time asking for the Dark Tower series, and recommending it to me and I've never gotten around to it, but always wanted to! Now I know exactly what I'll be reading over winter break!

In my helpful hints to my secret santa, I said I enjoy a good read... This could not be a better gift! One of my best friends came over, and as soon as she saw it she said "Oh wow this is perfect for you!"... I'm always asking friends for new books and this is definitely one I've wanted to crack into for a while.

Thanks Secret Santa!

NOW REVEAL YOURSELF!
