My Santa has surprised me with multiple items, but the biggest was...a challenge to read the books. I told my Santa that I loved HBO's Game of Thrones, but I've always been too intimidated to try reading the series. Well, Santa challenged me to try giving them 20 minute chunks and see if I don't get addicted. To get me started, Santa gifted me a gorgeous leather-bound set of the first five books!

A few days later, a mysterious package appeared on my porch. Inside was an iron coin from the Faceless Man. I think I now have carte blanche to have someone assassinated! Any suggestions?

Plus, Santa tells me that I have yet another gift coming my way, but, due to a shipping issue, it's just going to be a little later. The gift that keeps on giving!

Thank you, thank you, my oh-too-generous GoT Santa! I've been amazed at my fortune of having you as my gifter. And, I promise you, I'm going to start reading my books soon!
