Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he fulfilled all my fantasies about the Fantasy Exchange. He found my list, with a heavy-handed hint on my part, and checked it twice and carefully chose the following titles for this ecstatic giftee:

Soulless (Parasol Protectorate Series Book 1) (Kindle Edition) by Gail Carriger

Agent of Byzantium (Kindle Edition) by Harry Turtledove

Alt. History 102 (The Future Chronicles) (Kindle Edition) by Samuel Peralta

Underground Airlines (Kindle Edition) by Ben Winters

Well, Secret Santa, you really outdid yourself this time and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you very, very much indeed.

P.S. You just made my future travels all the more enjoyable.
