Two were in books: one in the book I'm reading (Anthony Doerr's Cloud Cuckoo Land), and one in the book I'm listening to (Michel Faber's Crimson Petal and the White). I didn't see either coming, and it's nice to be surprised and yet realize that the moves make sense such that, looking back, they're not twists at all.
Another kind of surprise awaited me in my mailbox today: a package from a high-school friend. Just seeing his handwriting on the box cheered me up. The package included some soaps made by his partner, and they are making my home office (where the opened package is right now) smell so good that I'm not sure I want to transfer them into the shower to use!
