Birthday fairies, hear my wish list…

Isn’t this just the coolest birthday cake? In a shape of a stack of books? I found it here…

So, it is almost that time of year again, when it is my birthday and I can request books to be bought for me on this most wondrous occasion *wink wink nudge nudge*. And what a fortunate time it is because I have just read a fantastic review about a book, well, a graphic novel, which are not my usual reading fare. In fact, I think the last graphic novel I read was by Neil Gamain and for the life of me, I cannot remember the name. What I do remember, is that the pictures were stunning and the colours inspiring.

But to get back to my topic, I read this review about this book

blanketsand I want to read it. As soon as I can get my hands on a copy.

As for other books, I am also itching to read this book

and this one

which I am hoping that I am going to win over here, AND  its a first edition signed copy. Oh be still my beating heart! *swoon swoon* and while we are on the Jasper Fforde topic, this one wouldn’t go amiss either..

Now, wouldn’t those be fantastic additions to my growing library?

Here’s sending prayers to the birthday fairies!
