Birthday Books!

Remember last week when I created this list of books I would like for my birthday? Well, the big day has came and went and I'm happy to say I received a few of them! A big thanks to my mom and my friend Ben, for their generosity. You guys are the best!


The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Windows on the World by Frederic Beigbeder
The Submission by Amy Waldman
In The Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson

I'm so excited about all the great new books on my TBR pile. I'm thinking it will be awhile before I have the need to buy more books. Seriously.

    Yay! I love getting books that are actually on my TBR list for my b-day or Christmas. I'm high on the list at my library for Larson's book.

    Great books! I finished In the Garden of Beasts a few weeks ago and really liked it. Seeing your pile makes me anxious for my birthday (coming up in a month)!

    The Submission! Nice - I'm jealous. And I'm sure you're going to love In the Garden of Beasts - one of my favorites of the year.
