WOW WOW WOW!! Thank you so much. My gifts are awesome. I was skeptical at first because my first match never came through -- not even an email(!) and when I got one the first day from my rematch I was excited about that alone, but unsure what to expect.

She did not disappoint! Not one, but FOUR great books and she really seemed to hit my taste on the head too!. I've had Lucifer's Hammer on my list for a while, and not I have no more excuses. Same goes for Heart Shaped Box, one I think will suit the more macabre part of my personality. I'm interested in reading The Strain because this is something I would never pick up on my own (I detest modern vampires) but it comes highly recommended so I will definitely try. She even went way out on a limb to try to appeal to my Civil War history passion and grabbed Midnight Rising, about John Brown's Raid -- something I am not too well versed on, but have been to Harper's Ferry which sparked interest so I am looking forward to that.

Thank you again so much Rachel, I hope real life karma finds you and fast -- you deserve it!!! As you can see too, my son was very insistent on helping open the box and previewing all the books for me. He's only 2 and already a big time reader!
