don't. :) Since my birthday landed on a Saturday I did my birthday book trip a few days early.

My non-book presents. Not pictured are two BN gift cards, which I used on my
shopping trip. Thank you to my Mom and sister and also a big Thank you to
Michelle G  for sending the wonderful birthday package. Especially the peach products.  The peach preserves are yummy. :)

  4. First of all Happy Birthday. I got Retribution this week two. Actually I got two copies because apparently I won one I didn't know about and I had one preordered. I have the two Anne Bishop novels in my library two, it's a really good series.

  5. Happy, happy birthday--I went through some years when I didn't acknowledge birthdays, but found that they kept coming anyway so began to celebrate. After all, birthdays don't just mean advancing age, they also mean acquiring wisdom and good judgment about living--well, hopefully that's so if we do it right. I have gotten mostly ebooks lately but did get a few print books lately. Love receiving books in the mail most of all. Have a wonderful day and a terrific year to come!

  6. Retribution may be my summer vaction gift to myself. We go to the beach every year and I tend to splurge on one book I want that is new and costs more than I would usually spend.

    Happy birthday! Hope you enjoyed a great day.

  11. Happy Birthday! I can't wait to see what you think of Primal Law... I had it in my hand, but put it back at the last minute because I didn't want to spend to much. And I'm a tiny bit jealous of Darker Still. I can't wait for it to come out.
