Happy Reading and Merry Xmas

Thank you to my Secret Santa for One by One and the nice card. Merry Christmas!

I’ve received my book a few days ago and have been hesitating to open it (I’m one of those weirdos who like opening all gifts that they receive through December on the Christmas Eve 😅), but today I made a compromise and just opened the package a little bit, enough to take out the Christmas card and peek that the book has sprayed edges (my first one!!!). I don’t know who my Santa is as I just says “Santa”, but thank you so much, and I am already excited about seeing the book on Christmas and reading it afterwards. Tsm Secret Santa!!!
