Something in the Mail

It's always nice to get an unexpected package in the mail; it's even nicer when it's a book, and nicer still when it has been autographed to me!

Last night when I got home from work, there was just such a package in my mailbox; my awesome friend, Cheryl, had gone to a reading by Roddy Doyle in New York in January; thinking of me, she picked me up and had him sign a copy of The Deportees and Other Stories, the author's just-published work. So even if I couldn't be there, at least I got the book!

I'm looking forward to reading it - I know it will be good!
