I love retellings of classic stories and am so excited you got me A Wish in the Dark. Mosquitoland has also been on my list as a good YA quest-narrative always catches my attention. And that bookmark! I’m a huge fan of sharks so this really made my day. Thank you!

andtheItoldyousos is a kindred spirit when it comes to books. We’re Goodreads friends and often have similarish things to say about the literary fiction we’ve read. I’ve been itching to read both of these, and my dreams came true! Thank you!!!!! (Also, this post is badly overdue, because I don’t have my internet act together these days, and I am very sorry about that)

Thank you so much, Bonnie! I was very happy to pick these up from my resident’s office this morning! Such a shame I had to go to work and couldn’t crack into them then and there. I even had The House in the Cerulean Sea on the wishlist I sent my family—I can cheerfully strike that off now   I feel a bit spoilt with book exchange, honestly. This is another year I have gotten some great stuff!
