I won the redditgifts lottery! I got, hands-down, the BEST Santa ever for this exchange. First off, she's a librarian(!!!) so I knew she was gonna get me some great reads. But I had no idea of the mind-blowing avalanche of books that was headed in my direction.

So I'm about to head off to Indonesia as a Peace Corps Volunteer--less than 2 weeks to go! And I've been running around like a mad woman making sure I'm ready for the next 2 years, worrying and obsessing about stupid little things. One of those concerns was, how am I going to get books to read? I'll be on a limited budget with limited internet access--what am I going to doooooo?

And then my problem was magically solved yesterday when I received a small package containing a jump drive from my wonderful, perfect, absolute SAINT of a Santa. 216 digital books from her and her friends' libraries. 216!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm set for the next FIVE years! Over a hundred of them are books straight off my wishlist and the rest are ones she'd thought I'd enjoy (and she did a great job; I recognized some and I can't wait to read them).

Words cannot express how excited I am about all of these. I keep scrolling through the list, like "OMG that one!", "wait, that one!", "that looks amazing!" ,"I've been dying to get my hands on that one!", "AND that one too!" I won't go into any individually because I'll be up all night writing this but just know that there was lots of squealing involved.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!! My amazing Santa also got me the audiobook for the first Harry Potter! I am long overdue to revisit the series and I actually don't even own the first one at all. I also need things to listen to while I'm knitting since I won't be able to stream tv shows so this is just so so perfect.

Thank you so much Santa for your thoughtfulness and generosity!!! You have eased some of my packing stress and I can't wait to delve into my new library on the plane. I wish I could rate this a 20 instead of a 10. I hope your own Santa brought you a dump truck full of books because you deserve it! You are the BEST!
