The doorbell rang this afternoon and I heard the familiar thump of a package being inserted inbetween the storm door and the regular door. I didn’t think much of it; I’ve ordered quite a few things off of Book Mooch and Amazon lately, and have a couple ARCs on their way. I was surprised, though, when I picked up the (fairly large and quite heavy) package and saw a return address — from Grimmell, Iowa — that I didn’t immediately recognize. It really surprised me, then, when I opened the package and saw 5 picture books, 1 ARC (for a book I think I’ve heard of) and one 1 paperback. None of which I’ve ordered.

There was no note.

I spent an hour or so, going through my emails (because, dang it, the address sounds familiar!) and Book Mooch history, trying to figure out who sent me these books so I could send thanks their way. But, it came down in the end that I have no idea who sent me these books. No clue who has my address (perhaps I should be more wary about giving it out??).

But whomever you are — TEOTF (does that stand for something obvious and I’m just being too dense to get it?) — thank you very much!!
