Extraordinary Gift

Walked into the kitchen to find this stack of books, complete with ribbon. Couldn't (and still can't) begin to find the words to express my surprise, elation and gratitude. 

 I rarely buy books.  I love books, have always been a voracious reader.  Books are expensive.  Let's face it - too few of them are worth the money and storage space to own. 

But...there's a new-ish series I've become quite enamored of.  All the readers I know are a'twitter about the books.  There's a long queue of reserves for them at the library.  They are clean and fun and peopled with characters you long to sit and chat with. 

For Christmas, The Husband gave me a gift card to Amazon.  It would enable me to buy, perhaps, the first three volumes.  (Number 8 was just released early December.)  Have been savoring the gift card, knowing I can get at least a couple of the books.

Was asked if I had anything to do this afternoon - there's a whole stack of fresh books to dive into.  I will wait.  I will admire them before untying the ribbon and starting anew with volume one.  I so love having something to look forward to, especially something as lovely and wonderful as some new books.  😍
