I'm in. Haven't done it the past couple years, but I've always enjoyed it when I did.

Get me whatever you think is interesting. I'll just list a couple things I don't want:

- No poetry
- No dense literary stuff (Shakespeare, Joyce, etc.)
- No mainstream thriller novels (James Patterson, Lee Child, etc.).

Here's my goodreads to give you an idea of what I've read and liked:

I got two books I'm really excited about. I don't know how my Santa managed to find ones that are such a great fit for me!

Paperbacks from Hell - The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction
I haven't heard of this book before, but it looks freaking awesome. Profiles of many of the crazy horror books from the 70's & 80's. It has a lot of great full color pictures of the insane horror covers. I immediately want to read this book, and then read all the books features in it.

The Terror by Dan Simmons
I'm super excited to read this too. I remember seeing the trailer for the TV series a while back and thinking it looked great, but somehow I missed it. (Glad I did, because I'd rather read the book first.) Dan Simmon's Hyperion is one of my favorite books of all time, so it'll be fun to see how he handles some cool mixed genres like this.

Thanks Santa, you picked well for me and these will provide many hours of reading enjoyment.

fake edit: Now I just went back and read Lord Zedd-Repulsa's post and realized he picked them off the "Want to Read" section of my Goodreads page... lmao, I don't even remember putting these books on there, but I guess that explains why I'm so pumped for them. They are a fun surprise!
