My rematch santa went way above and beyond. Somehow, they peered into my brain and got me books that I've been wanting for ages.

I had provided my santa with a short list of likes, and my goodreads account that chronicles many of the books I have read.

For months, I've been thinking about reading an Ian M. Banks novel as they are one of the few scifi authors I haven't read before. So, my santa must have been hiding in the corner of my local bookstore as I perused the scifi section and passed on Banks novels only to regret it later. Well, now I am regret free thanks to my santa.

The second book I received was right inline with the many left leaning books I have read. I read all sorts of left history books, but somehow I have never read A People's History by Zinn. Often I would feel like I was living a lie while talking to friends as they assumed I had read Zinn's popular work. I now no longer have to perpetuate this lie. My santa has released me into the light of the truth.

Finally, my santa sent me a copy of their favorite book, The Narrows by M. Craig. If I judge this book only by its cover I can tell it is full of charm. It was obviously written by someone as an act of love. I opened the book, and it's freak'n signed :O. This book seems really special, and I am most looking forward to reading this tale.

Thank you so much rematch santa. Your generosity is mind blowing and inspiring!
