(Updated: Thanks to all who entered. The contest has ended) I'm giving away books 1 and 2 of the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick - Hush, Hush and Crescendo to one winner, in honor of the release of Crescendo on Tuesday, Oct 19. I've realized that I will never be getting to either of these books, and I don't want to deny them the opportunity to be read and reviewed. Both books are ARCs, though Hush, Hush , is kind of a gently used copy - since it's more than a year old, and I myself won it on a giveaway. (But both books are in great condition and would pass off as new.) So, anyone who wants these two books, fill the form below.

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 reaso...
