I’ve basically had my Christmas for the year. My mom cleaned out all of her books and gave me like five boxes of young adult and middle grade books, along with a bookcase to store them all. Now we have all our fiction books in one place. It’s neat because a lot of them were books I read growing up or kept on my own bookshelf in my room. But look – the Harry Potter books are included! And the whole Series of Unfortunate Events! These are some of my favorites, and I’m so excited to have them, along with all the others. So Mom, thank you so much for the books!! It’s really all I need for Christmas. :)

(Brother and sisters: Mua ha ha! I HAVE ALL THE BOOKS! One of the perks of being the oldest, I guess… But really, I’ll share one day. Maybe.)
