In My Mailbox – The 4 Months Absence Edition

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. You can find more information about it here.

I arrived home on Friday, 11.30 PM after 19 hours of travel (it was supposed to be only 9-10 hours) and I didn’t get the chance to look around my apartment. I was SO tired, I went to sleep almost right away. But Saturday morning (or rather, when I woke up around 11 AM) I got the chance to look through all of the parcels that arrived during the 4 months I spent in Sweden. It was an amazing prospect, just look at them:

I cannot begin to describe my excitement while unwrapping these parcels. I made funny high noises several times. If you’d like to know what was in these parcels, take a look at my vlog.. Or if you’d rather skip that, I have added a list of the books below:
