Upon returning home from my long day at work I was surprised to find a big parcel awaiting me from my Secret Santa. I took it to my room (it had quite a bit of weight to it!) and began to open. Inside were 10 gift-wrapped boxes and a sack each with a message, that when put together in the correct order, revealed my Santa's username. After spending more time than I'd care to admit trying to piece together the username I finally cracked it and was ready to see what was inside all these boxes!

Inside I found the entire series for Steven Erikson's "Malazan Book of the Fallen", a series I've been wanting for some time after hearing great things about it, and inside the sack a 12-pack of root beers (something I've wanted to try, but have never got round to it).

I'd just like to say a big thank you to 3llac0rg11 for getting me a fantastic gift this Christmas - I'm so chuffed and cannot wait to begin reading this series. I've already cracked open a root beer and it tastes great! (Although it has the most uncanny scent that reminds me of the ointment you use to treat chicken pox). I hope you receive something you enjoy this Christmas too.
