Sounds like a wonderful day, Melody! Happy belated birthday to your daughter. :-)

I keep eying Belladonna, but have yet to pick it up. It sure does look good. And Jim Butcher! You can't go wrong with his books.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with C.S. Friedman. I hope you enjoy it and will be curious to know what you think. Perhaps it belongs on my wish list . . .

Tell your daughter that the lady who sent her a Disney plates for Christmas wanted to wish her a Happy Belated birthday! hehehe Sound like she had a wonderful time, with ice-cream and party with her classmate :)

And it look like you brought home some great books! Did you know that "The Mercenary" is supposely be the first book to the on going series? But I also know your habit of reading series books out of order *grin*....that okay, some people does it too. You're not alone :)

Yay for book shopping! I'm a spring birthday, and Easter's been on my birthday twice.

Wendy - Thank you! :) We had a wonderful day, but I'm sure my daughter enjoyed the most! And I hope you'll pick up Belladonna soon! ;)

Julia - On behalf of my daughter, I thank you for the birthday wishes! BTW, she loves the plates you sent, especially the one which has the princesses printed onto it. ;P No, I didn't know that The Mercenary is part of a series but thanks for telling me. :)

Eva - Isn't it nice to have your birthday falls on the same day as the Easter holiday? :)

*chuckle* I thought your daughter favorite is the tigger? Glad she loves the princesses plate. I think every little girls should have a princess plate :)

Well, no, hehe. And I think you're right that every little girl should have her princess plate. ;)

That is a cool list of books. I am really looking forward to starting The Dresden Files books this year. I watched the dvd of the show and got hooked so I know I will love the novels that started it.

I read Blind Submission a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it (you can see my review here if you'd like: http://thewrittenword.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/blind-submission/#comments). Glad to hear you like it so far too!

You've got a nice list of books to add to your collection :-) Hope you enjoy your reading!!!

Rhinoa - I haven't even started the first book of the Dresden Files series yet! I'm so behind, I need to catch up with them soon! Well, I haven't seen this show around and wonder if they even have it here! I'll have to check...

Stephanie - I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the book! I can't wait to finish it. I'll check out your review in a moment, thanks! :)

Kim - Thanks. I'm very satisfied with my recent book buying, but then I've to worry about where to put them as my bookshelves are full! LOL.

Happy Belated Birthday to your little one! And, book buying is a good way of celebrating :)
I really want to read more of the Dresden files books as well. I've only read the first book and thought it was fun. Blind Submission sounds like a good read too so looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on it!

Iliana - Thank you. :) Book buying is definitely a good way of celebrating (not to mention a joy and it's also a stress reliever to me too, haha!). I'm reading half of Blind Submission and I really love it! I think I might give a high rating for this one. ;)

Happy belated birthday to your daughter, Melody!

Great titles you bought. Blind Submission sounds like a good book. I like the cover... Can't wait to hear your review!

In-between studies and being glued to my seats, I bought some books online (a few times) and seriously, that no book buying policy is not working out too well for me. I'm just too resourceful in finding alternative ways. Hahahaha...

Alice, thank you for the birthday wishes! :)

I have just finished reading Blind Submission, so the review will be coming up later.

You know, I don't think this 'no book buying policy' will work for us booklovers because...old habits die hard, hehe.
