Dear Santa,

You totally nailed it. And I mean totally.

I came home from a morning meeting today and was greeted by an Amazon box. I hadn’t ordered anything lately, so I knew it was from my Santa. A book! Hooray! My favorite thing.

Not only a book though. FOUR books!!! How lucky am I?!? (Very.)

-The Sirens of Titan – Kurt Vonnegut. I have never read any Vonnegut, but I am excited to start with this one! It looks fantastic, and right up my alley.

-Devil in the Grove – Gilbert King. Just reading the back of this book pumped me up to actually dig into it. This sounds so fascinating!

-Norse Mythology – Neil Gaiman. You don’t know this, but one of the treasures of my personal collection is a first edition of Coraline with a signed bookplate. I knew Gaiman was coming out with a new book but it’s been busy season at work and I lost track of when. This is a PERFECT selection!

-The Name of the Wind – Patrick Rothfuss. So, a story. I checked this book out of the library and read it years ago. I LOVED it. I told everyone about it. I bought copies for my friends and family. Funnily enough, I never bought a copy for myself. I have a copy of The Wise Man’s Fear that has been sitting on my shelf for years, because I keep meaning to reread NOTW to refresh my memory. And now I CAN!!!

Santa, whether it was stalking or just being psychic, you really picked perfectly. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I can’t wait to start reading!!!
