To my secret book gifting person:

You didn’t let me know your username; at least I don’t think you did. The name you used to sign your sweet note could very well be it or you could’ve just had really cool parents. Just in case I won’t disclose it but I’d love to hear back from you. Whatever the case, you did a great thing and I thank you for that. It’s always nice to be on the receiving end of something like this, but when somebody, like yourself, takes the time and effort to send stuff to my kids that person goes from being a kindhearted stranger to an absolute hero. My kids were thrilled. They went crazy the second I told them they’d each gotten a gift in the mail and that craziness just grew after they ripped the wrapping paper apart and saw their books. That was so amazing of you.

My stuff was no less awesome. It hadn’t been a week since I’d mentioned to a friend that I was wanting to get back to reading a Stephen King book but I wasn’t sure where to begin. You narrowed that choice down for me. Also, I was a huge fan of “Into the Wild” and had somebody recommend “Into Thin Air” to me. Now I’ve got it and I can’t wait to dive into it.

For anybody reading, my total take was: “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer “Everything’s Eventual” by Stephen King “The Phantom Tollbooth” by Norton Juster “A Giraffe and a Half” by Shel Silverstein “Batman: Gotham’s Villains Unleashed” by John Sazaklis

I count myself very fortunate and my secret book gifting person very generous.
