This week has been long. Finals are looming. And on top of that, our second snow coincided with All The Events. Too much.
So, it was a great surprise and joy to come home this afternoon to a package filled with beautifully wrapped gifts from melanir.

(I thought the gift wrapping from Amazon was too gorgeous not to post).
Inside, I found two very exciting books:

I’ve been wanting to read Amitav Ghosh’s Sea of Poppies for a long time, as it’s a premiere Anglophone novel. And melanir had read and reviewed Amal El-Mohtar’s The Honey Month awhile ago, which sounded intriguing. These are exactly the kinds of books I like to read, and I am delighted to dive into these once Christmas Break starts. Thank you, melanir!!!!
