The book exchange is quite difficult because you're bound to find other readers who have a lot of books, so my Santa was amazing in asking me more about what I had and what I'd like. In order to keep the surprise, he wrote me a list of authors whose books he might or might not have considered buying, then I wrote him what I had of each one, so I wouldn't know what he was getting me.

However, I couldn't ever have imagined he was going to be so generous and so incredibly accurate about what I might have liked!

I wanted to read more by Philip K. Dick and he got me his best works, missed scifi essentials like Dune and Ready Player One, couldn't manage to read The Dark Tower on the Kindle. Also, he couldn't know, but I've been looking at that Metro 2033 big book for a while in my local library and I wanted to know more about The Witcher's universe.

He also went out of his way and looked for the Italian versions - my mother tongue - even though there would have not been any problems for me to read them in English.

I can't wait to spend hours in all these stories, he really made my book-dreams come true.

Thank you, Santa, read on!
