I go to pick up my package today from the post office, not knowing what to expect. I mean, it's Fantasy 2019. Maybe they went with the unicorns and dragons, or maybe more into the witchy things you mentioned. Nope. NOPE. They went full on SHOCK and AWE.

Not one. Not two. Not even three. Nah, they packed in SIX of the books I mentioned, three each from two different series and authors.

I had mentioned a preference for Kindle books (because convenience, y'all), but they followed their instincts and "old school teacher" self and went with the good old fashioned handheld book version. Good form, Secret Santa!! Nothing beats the smell of a new book and the way it fits in your hands as you read.

I am ridiculously excited to dive back into both of these series, and so glad it's a holiday weekend so I have extra time to do it! Anne McCafferey's dragon books, as I referred to them, were some of my first fantasy novels and middle school favorites. Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth quickly joined the ranks once discovered. If you haven't had the joy of reading works by either of these authors, please do so!

Thank you SO much!!!!!!!!
