He said he will contact USPS to open a lost package investigation. My daughter does USPS Informed Delivery and never received anything about that package. You like snow?

It was really good. I bought Christmas Jumper for the title, and it surpassed my expectations. It was really fun and touching. I love the person who narrates Backman's books. I think it's the same person for many of his books. I struggle a little with narrators with accents, because I have to listen harder, and I am usually doing something else when I listen to an audiobook.
