{G!veaway} I'm Old, So let's Celebrate!




Today is my 25th birthday. I am a quarter of a century old today, and what better way to celebrate a birthday other than an EPIC giveaway for you guys! 
(I won't bore you guys with a rant about getting older and how fast time is going, i'll get right to the giveaway)
I have been cleaning off my bookshelves in anticipation of moving at the end of the year when I am done with law school, so I am trying to find homes for some of my books. 

I have put together a pretty nice box of books! The books are a mixture of ARCs paperbacks and hardcovers. Mostly YA books but a few general fiction and adult books thrown in. If you win and you like adult books, let me know and I can make it more adult than YA. 

So one US winner (sorry the box is pretty heavy) will get a MYSTERY BOX OF BOOKS! 
-There will be at least 10 books in the box, maybe more as I continue to sort through my books
Ok, you want a peek? Here are three books that will be in the box :) 



My contest policy applies
must be 13+
US only

Good Luck! :)

Happy Birthday! I hope you do something special to celebrate. This year will be going out to dinner, pretty early as our 7 month old is coming with so hoping she is in a good mood and we get to enjoy a wonderful meal that I don't have to cook! Also definitely not old!

25 is not old ~ I remember thinking 25 would be the perfect age. I even had my niece and nephew convinced that I was 25 when I was really 35...Then my sister told them the truth and shattered my world!! The hag. ;)

Happy birthday!

Melissas Eclectic Bookshelf said...

Happy Birthday! And 25 is so not old!

Happy Birthday! 25 is very old! You are half way to 50! lol That is my sisters and my favorite thing to do. Every birthday we tell each other what we are half-way to. I'm half-way to 84 now!! Sheesh! Thanks for the giveaway. My daughter and I would love these books!

NoraA said...

Please, I'd love to be 25 again... That would let me relive the next 40 years and not make the same mistakes twice... Come back and tell me your old while you're signing up for Medicare.

M.A.D. said...

((Hugs)) & Happy *Beautiful* Birthday!! 25 is such a wonderful age, you are blessed to be both mature AND youthful at this time of your life - it's a special time, so I hope you treasure every moment of it! <3

Meanwhile, I am so old, when I was born rocks were still soft. In fact, truth - I have Tupperware older than you lol ;)

Thank you for the generous giveaway, too - my grown daughter and I would love these ~~~~

Happy birthday! I hope you're having a good one! :)

Alicia said...

Happy Birthday! And I promise, it is probably just law school making you feel old, once you graduate . . . ah never mind, then you'll be a lawyer ;)

Christy LoveOfBooks said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. again. :)

laura thomas said...

Happy Birthday To You... You'll be happy you couldn't hear my singing! It must be exciting to be finishing law school. What an achievement! I can understand you're having to part with some of your books. Those law books weigh a ton all by themselves!
I'm crossing my fingers and toes and eyes, etc...

Gi-Gi said...

Happy Birthday! :D

25 is definitely not old!

I have no plans for my birthday yet lol I usually never do until last minute or I just let things happen as the day goes :)

Jessica B. said...

Happy, happy birthday!!! I hope you have a great day! And I hope for my birthday, that I get to take a trip to a bookstore and pick out some books. Because my birthday is on a Tuesday, and I know of at least two books I'd lovelovelove to get. ;)

I need to know what is in that box!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday! I say definitely not old! I'm 27 years young lol. I hope you have something great planned for your day! Last year on my birthday I got to wake up in my first apartment in a new state miles from my family. It was a good feeling... being a "true adult". I'm hoping to go back to NY for my birthday this year! Thank you for the chance to win this great giveaway! I just lost my job and have no YA books at my house that I haven't read already... library has a poor selection too! Hope to win and again Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!! normally, I slink away from doing anything for my birthday but this year, we lived it up for a whole weekend. We went out dancing, saw a drag show, went to the casino and even played bingo with my grammy. It was great. Hope you get to do lots of fun things with those you love.

Melissas Midnight Musings said...

I had a low key birthday this year (just last week.) I went out to dinner with my family, it was nice. I hope you had a wonderful birthday.

rocksann said...

Happy Birthday! 25 is a great age, I love being 25! One of my most memorable birthdays was when my husband took me on a trip to New York when I turned 30 (ok, I lied I'm not 25 I'm 34 but I like to think I haven't aged since then). Thanks for the giveaway =)

Stacy said...

Happy Birthday! I don't think I did anything special for my birthday this past year (usually we go away for a long weekend to St Augustine or Sarasota or something) but we didn't go anywhere. For my birthday in January, I am trying to get my husband to take me to Savannah for a long weekend.

Suz Reads said...

Happy Birthday! You are not old! One of my favorite birthday memories is going to the ice capades when I was 7. I loved seeing the skaters dancing on ice! Have a great day and thanks for this amazing giveaway!

Hushed Paradox said...

Favourite birthday memory is when we dropped the cake when it was on its way to the table. I was kind of mad at first but looking back now, it was hilarious.

Michelle Chew said...

Happy belated birthday! Wow! We are of the same age now! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! In NO WAY are you old, chica!! Just wait til you're 11 years out of law school and have turned 37 and wondering what you're doing with your life!!! (ha ha ha - not that I'm talking about anyone in particular here, ahem) You're so awesome to hold a giveaway to give things to OTHER PEOPLE on your OWN birthday! Very sweet. Thanks for the hard work you put into your blog, I'm sure I speak for loads of other followers when I say you're absolutely one of my faves to follow. Oh, and I *may* have just sent you a little something for your birthday...check your email ;-)

Happy Birthday! My 25th birthday was just on the 21st, so I feel you on the old part! I think this is the year when you really start to think "Wow, I'm a grown up!" Haha.

This year I had a great low key party with my best friend and family. We had a fire and some wine. It was great.

Thanks for the giveaway!

You can't be old, cause if you're old - I'm old.

Worse come to worse, we can be old together! :)

Texas Book Lover said...

You are not old! I do remember feeling old when I hit 25 though but trust me it is not old!

Hope your birthday was phenomenal!!!

Helena Ison said...

Happy Belated Birthday :) My 25th birthday just passed as well and gosh I feel old 2! =-X It's strange when I tell someone a story from high school and realize I graduated 7 years ago... do you feel like that also? lol
