In My Mailbox # 68

-

In My Mailbox is a weekly bookish meme hosted @ The Story Siren

I turned 25 this Friday and wasn't really excited about it, but after a few tweets from friends assuring me 25 wasn't old, I felt better and actually tried to enjoy my birthday :)

Kindle


Truth (XVI #2) by Julia Karr

Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3) by Darynda Jones

Won books (I love to win!)


Fire Study by Maria V Snyder
(now I have the whole series!)

Slide by Jill Hathaway
(yay! I'm going to start this one first - I got the UK cover :P)

Spanish books / Birthday gifts!


Carolina Se Enamora by Federico Moccia
(Gift from my mother, cute cover!)

Si lo sueñas, haz que pase ("If you dream it, make it happen") by Maickel Melamed (english info)
(Gift from my sister)

Birthday cake! (delicious)


I also got more gifts (like my shiny iPhone, which I received a few days ago), but books always make me happy :) Anyway, what did you get this week?

    Happy Birthday Gaby! No, 25 is not old! I'm 27 and I don't consider even that as old ;-p Hope you had a great day, the cake looks delicious :-D And what great bookish presents, hope you'll enjoy them!

    Happy birthday! And, speaking from age 61, 25 is not at all old, you young pup! I still have to read both XVI and First Grave on the Right. But I have read the whole Study series and loved them. Have a great reading week and thanks for visiting my blog.

    Happy b-day! (I know it was on friday, but better late than never)
    Love all your books, specially the ones in Spanish (espero que los disfrutes mucho).
    I like to read in Spanish once in a while. To be honest I'd prefer to read all my books in Spanish, but I only receive books in English.
    Kisses

    Happy Birthday!! That cake looks delicious! Now I'll have to bake one myself.. (=make my mom bake one for myself, if necessary cry until she agrees)

    And what a great haul! I hope you'll enjoy all of your reads. The Slide cover looks really great! :O

    Oh, you have the UK version of Slide! I can't wait to read that book, although I do like the American cover better. Happy late birthday! I need to get my hands on Truth, but I don't really remember what happened in XVI. Time to reread, I suppose.

Banned Books Week Hop (Giveaway)

Welcome to the Banned Books Week Hop giveaway! Hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and I Read Banned Books . I don't believe in banning books (or anything at all). I believe that we are capable of thinking for ourselves and we are able (and have the right) to choose what we want to read/see/think/believe. The Banned Books Week is basically a week where readers decide to defend their right to read whatever they want. It's the perfect week to decide four yourself it you want to read read that book some people is tying to challenge or ban... Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular—provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.  More information about the Banned Books Week here. I'm sure there is a lot to say abo...
