Package in the Mail

malibu by malibuOG 2001 · Nov 27, 2003 · 83 views

i stop at the mailbox on my way into the house. inside is a package. could have been another ordering of clothes from a magazine, but no! it was for me. and it was from my aunt in toms river. and it was hard. like a box package. i ran inside wondering what it could be. i open it.......................................................... THE NEW TERRY BROOKS BOOK!!!!!!!!! (author of sword of shannanera and the following trilogy's after that. this is the newest one to the beginning of a new trilogy.)
so immediatley i call my mom (since i can't find my aunts number) i'm standing there talking to her just really in a normal voice how excited i am and all. (several minutes had passed since the first book opening.) and then i go to flip to the first page to start reading while i'm talking to her and....... the book opens to the title page where there is TERRY BROOK'S SIGNATURE!!!!!!!! at this point i'm screaming to my mom what happened literally jumping up and down with joy.
do you have a signed book of one of your favorite authors?

i love packages in the mail.

that sounds like you could write your own book.
