Since today is my birthday I thought I would post my top 5 books of all times! (in no particular order)
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
 |
| Mr. Darcy is the fictional man that set the standard. |
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
 |
| Fantastic dystopian short story. |
The Giver by Lois Lowry
This is exactly how I pictured the Giver, all alone in this grand room, holding the knowledge of "the world"
Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
 |
| I LOVE Oddy! This is Koontz's best for me. |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
 |
| First book I truly read (I was in 3rd grade). It made me realize anything was possible. |
These are also some of the upcoming reviews I will be posting while Kelli is out.
Amazingly I did not age this year, let me explain how this may happen to you. All year when asked my age I would reply "Oh I am 28". I never gave it a thought until sometime in December when I realized my mom and I were about to have our birthdays. Then I thought how old my mom was turning... *pause*... then I thought to myself wait a minute, I'm not 28 I'm 27. I even had to call my mom to confirm her age (and my own) and to make sure I wasn't having a moment of dementia. And to my surprise or rather delight I was informed my correct age.
So I am now officially 28 even though I have been saying it all year. The aftermath is that I will remain 28 for two years! And that folks is how you can avoid aging on your birthday :0) My favorite color remains pink, even though people have told me my whole life "you will grow out of it"... I doubt it, everything looks better with a little shade of pink.
PS I am brunette.
Happy birthday and those are such great books :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeletePS: No one has to grow out of pink! It's such a happy color!
Happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the few people I know who read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" before I saw the movie (I was actually very excite to discover there was a movie).

I would just like to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you enjoy your day with some relaxation. Probably grab a book, a nice cup of hot chocolate and a blanket. Stress free =P
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! And, that's exciting that you didn't get older! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great book list! I've read all but Odd Thomas, and they are all totally awesome!
Happy Birthday. That is a very smart idea. I'm about to turn 26, so maybe I'll start telling people I'm turning 27 :)
ReplyDeleteAmen to pink! pausing time! and still loving certain books.
ReplyDeleteI adore the Giver (even though I read it for the first time last year).
I'm 34 turning 35 in August ;) a curly haired brunette who loves pink and black.
Hahaha, I just try not to ever think of my age!
ReplyDeleteLove your book choices, read them all except the Koontz book.
HAPPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Happy birthday! My mom totally missed a birthday a couple of years ago! She thought she was a year younger than she was.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA! That is the best birthday story ever:) And happy belated birthday! Glad you are now fully aware of your age and aren't going around lying to people;)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated B DAY!
ReplyDeleteMy son is on Jan 27 and so i know you're an Aquarius. Fine people and voracious readers.
Happy b day & you're still a babe at 28!
PS.. I'm dark haired with a little help from my Garnier box ;P
Happy (belated) Birthday Natalie!!!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I have yet to read a Jane Austen novel?
