Today is my 25th birthday. (Yes I'm still at that age where I will tell you my age) And instead of being able to enjoy reading what I want, I have to read boring books for grad school. *Sigh* The qualms of growing older.

As a history major, here are some noteworthy events that happened today:

hmm not too interesting, a war ends, a war begins, and ebay is born. hmm.

and what famous people do i share a birthday with?
that's it!!! billions of people in Hollywood and other places and for all my life, and he is the only person i know on the list. :(

oh yeah to all you Michael W. Smith fans though, his oldest son Ryan is celebrating his 25th bday today too! (yes we are EXACTLY the same age)

so that's all the historical details of September the 3rd.

feel free to leave any wishes if you would like.

on to reading some of the driest books that have ever graced the face of this earth.

I'm giving away 5 brand new copies of today's book! Leave a comment with your email address so I can contact you if you win. I'll pick a name and announce the winners on Friday July 3 . US and Canada addresses only (No PO Boxes). Good luck! PLEASE LEAVE A WAY FO R ME TO CONTACT YOU!!!! ENTRIES WITHOUT CONTACT INFO WILL NOT BE ENTERED. I was more than pleasantly surprised and shocked while reading this book. I have the first three books of the Twilight series and I will admit that I am not really a fan of them. The writing in those books is not very well done, plus I have problems with the storyline and the characters in general.

Therefore I approached The Host with rather low expectations and prepared myself for another Twilight except with aliens. Boy was I in for a shocker. When I started reading, I was amazed at how I got sucked into the book. I really didn't expect to, be...

It's here! Today is my 3 year blogiversary! (Never mind tha t the first entry is marked on 9/20, I had written that post the day after and then backdated it) . I can't believe that I'm still here and blogging away! As al ways, the reason why I started blogging was thanks to Camy Tang's blog which inspired m e to write my own blog. My main goal was to blog about the books I read because I figured I'd like others to know about the good books that were ou t there . I honestly can't believe that it's lasted this long and I hope to keep going strong. I've met so many new friends in the past year alone and I've even gotten to meet several in person and I'm going to meet more next week at the National Book Festival! I'd also like to say thank you to those who nominated me for Best Cultural Review Blog for the 2009 BBAW Awards. It's truly been an honor that you considered me for that award and even more awesome that I made the shortlist...
