So I got a really excellent Santa for the book exchange. There were a couple of small delays in my gift arriving, but he was so lovely in sending me messages and checking in lots to make sure I knew something was coming and that I was being thought of.

The wait was so worth it. What a wonderful present!

First off, chocolate. I keep getting sent chocolate in all my exchanges. I am not complaining. This is a brilliant trend and I fully encourage it :P

Sparrow also wrote me a really lovely note. It felt so personal, and made me smile loads :D

Next I got a little dragon figurine. This shit is the cutest thing I have ever seen. It's fucking adorable. I can't stop looking at it, but then, I'm generally distracted by shiny things anyway!

Last but not least, of course, the book. He sent me A Dance with Dragons. Awesome right. I've actually reed ASOIAF but I don't own the books and was planning a re-read, so this is perfect.

BUT..hold on..it's SIGNED BY GRRM. HOLY MOTHER OF GIFTS.....I actually can't get over it. I keep opening the book and looking at it.

Thank you so much Sparrow. You are a most excellent gifter, and I'm delighted you were mine!
