TL;DR: This incredibly grateful lady got six amazing books from a wonderful and generous Santa!

:D

I was notified that my Santa shipped this past Monday and I may or may not have been obsessively checking the tracking status since then (I have a lot of down time at work. And, okay, I was also just really excited. I may or may not have also obsessively checked the tracking of the package I sent to my giftee. Lots of downtime, okay?).

Anyway, a day or two later my Santa sent me a message about which books they had picked for me and why (they said they'd forgotten to put a note in the package). Well I read the first line of that message which listed the books and I Nope'd out of there, because I wanted to be surprised when I opened the package. I did find out through the message that I would be receiving six books, however. Six! I thought I’d probably get one, maaaaybe two, but six!? I was not expecting that! All week I was so tempted to sneak a peek at the message to see what I would be getting, but I resisted. However, I do admit to making my SO read it so I could live vicariously through him and see what he thought of the picks (he approved of course).

In a cruel twist of fate, the package came while I was out of town on Saturday (I was visiting my SO two hours up north). I was tempted to leave him early and go straight home to open my package. But, I was able to hold onto my patience a bit longer and came home at my scheduled time. Even though I was tired from the drive, the first thing I did was open my package and see my books.

I really love everything they picked out and am so grateful for my books. Three were their personal books and three were bought (more info. with pics).

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque

City of Thieves by David Benioff

Blindness by Jose Saramago

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

The Bedwetter by Sarah Silverman

I now have the difficult task of deciding which to start reading first!

Thank you, Santa! I truly love my gift!!! :)
