First wave of reactions- bunch of books, great. Why would anyone assume they would know what I like reading.

Second wave- noticed a personal book, specially picked out for me about how to be a a happy single mum. Which is so sweet. And caring. Somebody taking their time to get to know me and thinking I might benefit from a book like that.

Third wave- noticed the letter. Thank you for your kind words. They mean more to me than you know :)

Fourth wave- I notice that the books are all by the same author. Hmm. ok. Weird. I start reading the descriptions. And well ho ho ho... I get the sense that my SS has done some impressive digging to find out the types of books I have preferred in recent years. YES! Detective stories based in a city I used to live involving the undead, faeries and magic, is EXACTLY what I would read!!

What my secret Santa Didn't know however, is that just two days ago I finished book series and I have been walking around looking for the next fix. I have touched a couple of books but it's like I'm sniffing glue instead of getting carried away with some high class designer drugs. Well Secret Santa... Well done. Truly and awesomely well done :)
