  2. Oh man, I'm so jealous of everything you got. I didn't get very many books this year, just the Artemis Fowl series from my brother (which I'm super happy about, because I really wasn't expecting it).
    My sister got the Game of Thrones guide, so hopefully I'll be able to borrow it from her, and I bought my mum Grey's Anatomy as soon as it came out as an early Christmas present, so we've been watching it a lot. Enjoy your awesome presents! :)
