I love books and I love reading them. I want to build up my collection of books and have my own library. Just to sit in a room full of books on shelves and in stacks makes me so very happy. Libraries are among my favorite places in the world. So for this exchange, the last question started with, "My life would be complete, if only I had 100..." and I completed it with, "shelves of books in my own private library that was mine permanently and that I would let others visit and enjoy. It would have tons of comfy seating and a complete, unabridged dictionary set with its own podium/shelf."

My Santa for this exchange (you didn't tell me your username, which is fine if you wanna keep it secret) has got me closer to my dream! He generously got me the box set of the Divergent Series, a series that I have not yet read. Admittedly, I've only heard of it recently, most likely ahead of the movie buzz. Still, I'm excited to read this collection as I do continue to enjoy young adult fiction despite no longer being among the target audience. ;-) I think this genre is very enjoyable and I harbor no shame reading them. (And really, sometimes I need a break from 1000+ page tomes!) I'm confident I will enjoy this series and I hope to find time to read them very very soon. :-)

Anyway, thank you very much! You're awesome! And HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY TO YOU, Secret Santa! Thank you, thank you!!
