Aside from the books, I also received this awesome mug from my boyfriend. It says, "I like to party and by party I mean read books." No truer words have been said.
I haven't read any of the books you mentioned but they look pretty interesting. I remember I once considered reading The Sound At The Fury because one of my relations had it but for some reason I didn't and I can't quite remember why. Hopefully you'll enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this year, you'll get to read it ;)
DeleteBest mug ever! xx
ReplyDeleteYes!! So lovely. There are other perfect ones too!
DeleteLove the mug! And have a lovely birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Meredith!

Haha. All the greens and the blues... thank you, friend!
DeleteI totally get what you mean. I'm reading it and almost done, and while I don't completely understand what's going on, I still love the prose!! And thank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!! Came to your post on the right day. :-) That's a great book haul - hope you enjoy the Bernadette book. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteOhh, happy birthday, Jillian! It's pretty cool that you have friends in your life who totally get you and get you bookish gifts :)
ReplyDeleteI love that mug! If I needed more mugs in my kitchen, I would definitely track that one down.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful birthday and got to do lots of reading! :)
