My book gifter really surprised me, and pleasantly so. They contacted me weeks ago to give me the heads-up that there would be multiple parcels so I expected perhaps two or three books to head my way, but I never expected SIX! Not only that, they've taken a really interesting tack. I am a mature-age student of American Studies, from the UK, and had indicated my interest in all things American, American history, and so on. The books they chose for me are all mystery thrillers set around the American Civil War. Historical mysteries (E.A. Poe aside) are not something I've delved into before, but these look truly fascinating and I am VERY happy indeed that my mystery book-gifter has given them to me as an introduction to the genre. Many many hours ahead of most enjoyable bookwormery lay ahead.

THANK YOU so much for the books!
