First things first: THANK YOU!

After getting a message from my mystery gifter a few weeks ago I was delighted to hear that we share a similar background in the Midwest. This was further confirmed when a delightful package arrived on my South Korean doorstep. It's origin only 20 miles from my parents' house (and my hometown for 18 years).

If RedditGifts has proven anything, it's that the world is an itty-bitty place.

As for the contents of the package, I was delighted to see some new titles to read! First up, a used copy of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" by Seth Grahame Smith. I love used books and am excited to dive into this quirky read. I'll be sure to continue spreading the literature love on this side of the globe, too.

Lastly, a graphic novel titled "Any Empire" by Nate Powell. I've begun reading it and so far so good! I'm looking forward to discussing it with some of my friends when I'm finished.

Thank you again! I could not be more pleased!
