I've won another book off Romance Bandits; however it's not just a book. It's the first book of a four-book series. This is so cool! I won it last week, and now today, it arrived in the mail.
I can't wait to read this one. Now, it's another book to add onto my Christmas Reading List over the NYE period. Along with the book, there was the first chapter of the next book, a bookmark, a couple of business cards and an advertising card or two of other books. Very cool. I'll be looking for the other three books of this series soon so I can review them as a set next year.
Today was the first day I could get to the post office to collect any parcels that were owing to me; and there were two. I had a red card and a blue card, the latter of which I found in my PO Box this morning. So, I went inside and picked them up. One was from my Bookcrossing Birthday Buddy here in Brisbane and the other? Well, that was from New Zealand, from sfogs.
Once home, I unwrapped my Birthday Buddy's one first and was amazed to find a great array of things. There were three books and a massive present all wrapped up in gorgeous paper and a card too and bubble wrap! I looked at the three books first and then unwrapped the present after reading the card from Froggirlwendy. I was totally blown away to find a massive book! And it's one of those secret compartment books where it looks like a book but it's not! I love these things! Well! She hid a copy of 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins, a burnt copy of a P!NK from this year, a journal for me to write in with a pen and a bookmark as well as a coin purse full of packets of different types of tea! This is very cool!
My second parcel also turned out to be a Birthday Present! It's a Birthday RABCK from sfogs of 'The Fallen' by Thoma E. Sniegoski as well as the second book he's written. Thank you so much sfogs for sending me these two books! They look great... and the guy on the front is hot! Now, it feels like my birthday has been and gone; now I've received presents from near and far and I've also gotten cards from friends and relatives and Birthday wishes on Facebook and on a Bookcrossing forum too. Thank you all for making my day special.
Today is my 39th Birthday. I love birthdays... they're so much fun! You get gifts from family and friends and cards and it's a time for celebration of another year on this here little blue planet.
Well, I firstly received an sms from my Dad. He had written out the whole song of 'Happy Birthday' through sms... that would have hurt his fingers! But he did it. Then, he phoned me and sang it in a funny voice making me laugh.
I opened my presents I bought myself and they were all 8 seasons of 'That 70's Show' and a copy of 'Crossing Paths' by Debbie Robson; which I ordered in from MacLeans Booksellers in Newcastle. When I jumped on Facebook, I had many friends wish me a Happy Birthday... how cool is that? Then, Mum called me and sang to me... she hasn't been well, so this means a lot!
There's still other things to unwrap and pick up for this day; but they are at my house in Logan - and I'm currently not there at the moment - so I'll have to leave this post with just these two gifts so far reported as received.
