I got my books in the mail today while RSVPing to some shitty wedding I don't want to go to but have to because she's my cousin and I hate her fiance. Anyways!

I love them! Shirley Jackson and Peter S Beagle are two of my all-time favorite authors; I can't get enough of them!

I honestly didn't even realize the other book was written by Beagle, it has such an eerie title that I figured it was by another author I'd never heard of. But it's what looks like a badass collection of short stories, including "Uncle Chaim and Aunt Rifke and the Angel," which I highly recommend you read!

I have read WHALITC before, but I'm really, REALLY pleased to have a hard-copy of my own now, since I always like to have a book or two on hand as I do my wanderings.

My Shiba Inu Missy would not stop sniffing the books, so guess who got to be the new display stand?!?! I don't know why she hasn't run away from home yet. Or killed me in my sleep.

Thanks agains, SS, and I hope the gifts you received from your SS were just as great!
