Let me just start off by saying, my Secret Santa hit the nail on the head with this one! Everything that was sent was so thoughtful (not to mention the wrapping was some of the best I have ever seen)!

First off, I was blown away by the copy of The Way of Kings by Brian Sanderson. After just finishing up Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicle books 1 & 2 last week, I began to research recommended books/authors that I would enjoy. This book, specifically, was near the top of my list for books I would be reading next, and now I have the privilege of diving into this right away! I'm planning on cracking it open as soon as I send this post!

Secondly, the Game of Thrones Pop! Figures (specifically Jon Snow and Daenerys) fit PERFECTLY in my collection. I currently have Tyrion and the Night King displayed on my office bookshelves and now they are accompanied by the two other contenders to the Iron Throne! This was such a thoughtful gift and will make a great addition to my collection.

Finally, my secret santa was generous enough to send along a box PACKED full of dozens of Japanese candies. I have seen these types of candies on the internet and in some stores from time to time and have always been curious about what they were like and how they tasted. Now I get to sample each and every one of these colorful and fun candies! I'm especially excited to try the "hamburger candy" snacks as well as the Bourbon candies. Seriously, thank you so much for sending such an amazing gift and thank you for making the Secret Santa gift exchange such an awesome experience. Happy holidays!
