Firstly, I’m sorry it took me a couple days to post this thank you! This week has been pretty hectic, but this incredible collection of books arriving it the mail made it a lot better. I was blown away by how much thought and effort my Santa put into picking these books out for me, I really appreciate it so much!

I’ve actually already read The Song of Achilles (and I liked it a lot, which means this was a good choice!), but also I have no idea what happened to my copy, so now I have a replacement! I might give it another read now that I have a new copy of it. :)

I’ve been wanting the Welcome to Night Vale novel for years! I actually just bought the second WTNV novel on sale and was waiting to read it until I finally caved and bought the first one (even though I’m pretty sure they’re stand-alone stories, I still felt like I needed to read them in order). So, really, this is two gifts in one, you’ve given me this novel and the ability to read the second one!

The Guide to Troubled Birds is another one I’ve been wanting for a really long time, and I’m so excited to finally have it! I love birds, art, and weird humor, so it should be perfect.

My Santa said that Magical Thinking is her favorite book, and I’m really looking forward to reading it! I’ve read and enjoyed a few Augusten Burroughs books a long time ago, and weirdly enough I’d actually just thought about him for the first time in years a few days before these books arrived in the mail. I think I’m going to read this one first.

Capping off the collection of gifts like icing on a cake is this little book of Van Gogh bookmarks! I love Van Gogh’s paintings, and these will definitely come in handy.

Thank you so much for this very thoughtful selection of books, u/tinyhippo02! And thank you for your well-wishes for me after graduation!
