So I was just sitting down for an afternoon of tea and crochet when my dogs start barking like madmen... beasts. Not expecting my gift until tomorrow, I was ecstatic to see "amazon" and "c/o Kelphatron9000" on the box.

Tearing it open with the speed only desired procrastination will fuel, I found two great books I haven't yet read! Though I specified my likes/dislikes, I told my book-santa to just give me his/her favorite books, regardless of genre. Now, I know this may have opened an opportunity for trolling (Twilight), but Santa delivered!

I like horror, which is one of the genres I checked, and was awarded with a monstrous Stephen King novel, The Stand. Any book with 1,000 or more pages is wonderful to me, and this one is no shorter than 1,499.

Though I don't particularly care for non-fiction, the other one I received (Blue Highways) has great potential already. I read a few pages and the writing is so magnificent, that it seems it's going to be much worth it.

Santa, it had your name on the amazon slip thing, but I'm not sure if that's your reddit name or real one, so I won't post it. Thank you so much!
