I forgot, I did get a book. The Shack, by William P. Young. I don't consider myself religious in the least but I find the subject fascinating so I'll read it.

I got quite a few books, pretty much all I asked for:
-The Zookeeper's Wife -The Flamenco Academy -Wuthering Heights (so I can read an Emily Bronte) -Agnes Grey (so I can read an Anne Bronte) -a collection of some Sherlock Holmes stuff -The Scarlet Pimpernel (I had asked for the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, but got this instead...an easy mistake)
