It's my birthday today!
And that's a Harry Potter cake you are seeing - Harry on a broom with a snitch in his hand. I was giddy with excitement when my friends got me this cake. I had always fancied cutting one - it was the ultimate must-do for me. I would buy my own HP cake, but then there's no fun in that. Surprise and friends/family are totally essential to spice up the experience!
So, I had an amazing party last night and also rescued the Harry Potter souvenir and the two towers on the cake - so they now rest on my bookshelf with the rest of my bookish treasures.

I don't have any specific plans for the day, but to read, blog and buy books to treat myself (I had been putting off buying any book for some time just so that I can buy some today - guilt-free). So while I choose what books to treat myself to, I'd like to have you join in on my birthday celebs as well - by throwing a giveaway. (Well, I'm feeling good about myself today for many reasons, so a giveaway was just in order.) Moreover, I've been in the blogging kingdom for six months now.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Aths, Happy Birthday to you! Sounds like you're having the right kind of celebration: family, friends, cake and books (oh, and Harry Potter!). Enjoy! And be sure to let us know what books you bought
Happy Happy Birthday, Aths!! Sounds like you are having a fantastic birthday - YAY! I loved your HP cake - how awesome was that? I remember that my BFF in college would always get me fun bday cakes like - I got "A Bug's Life" one and kept the bugs on the cake (so, like you, I would have definitely kept the HP bits, too!). Enjoy buying your books and don't forget to share with us what titles you purchased :) Cheers!!
