My book exchange match was simply phenomenal, going above and beyond what I'd even hoped. The gift wound up coming in three separate parts, due to multiple order sites among other things, but it was great to constantly have something to look forward to!

The main batch arrived first, containing pretty much everything I could have thought to ask for. I got Various collections of short stories and novellas, from authors such as Stephen King, Orson Scott Card and George RR Martin. I even wound up getting every part of the Tales of Dunk and Egg, the only Song of Ice and Fire stories I haven't read!

In addition, my match figured out that my grandmother claims I'm related to LM Montgomery and sent me the Canadian childhood classic Anne of Green Gables, which (I'll turn in my passport now) I haven't had the pleasure of reading. He also sent along Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. I haven't read much Steinbeck, but love classic American lit (Great Gatsby is my favourite novel) and loved The Moon is Down, so I can't wait to tear into this one! Finally, the package also included Orson Scott Card's classic Ender's Game! I haven't read this book, but it's one I've looked for every time I'm in a used bookstore or the library, so, again, can't wait to read it!

Parts two and three showed up over the next couple weeks. My match must have figured out I frequent r/Scotch, because I was sent two brand new Glencairn tasting glasses as well as Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2012! Fantastic! I often have trouble picking out new whiskies to try out, and this will be a huge help.

A toast to a fine Redditor!
