Hi there and Happy Friday!
The weekend is almost here and to continue the celebrations for my birthday week I have a giveaway for another of my very favourite books of the year!
This giveaway as well as all the others run by me in the blog are all INTERNATIONAL!
The Art of Lainey was one of those amazing surprises of the year. I've never been a big fan of contemporary stories but decided to give Lainey a try and I just so happy that I did! Not only Lainey is a gem of a book but it also worked as therapy for me at a moment when my emotional state was at what has been the worst of my life so far. Lainey's path and mine are nothing alike and our situations differed a lot, but the general message was one that really resonated with me. And not only that, Paula Stokes is an awesome lady & author!
You can read my review of Lainey HERE. Also you can see the inspired decorated cupcakes I made for it in my Ink & Batter feature!
And if you want to get yourself a copy of the book, just enter the via the Rafflecopter below!

I didn't even know there was one, thank you for teaching me!
ReplyDeleteI only learnt about that a few years back myself!
DeleteHappy birthday, Pili :-D
ReplyDeleteI would have said that in Spanish but I don't know how to make that little wiggle that goes over the N on my keyboard :-)
My keyboard has the letter there, thankfully! Ñ ;)
DeleteI did not celebrate my golden birthday in any special way! I was turning 12 and I don't think I even put two and two together to realize such a thing at the time. Oh well! Happy Ongoing Birthday!! :)
ReplyDeleteHuh. I am not sure what you mean, lol :D Then I googled. I think I got it. But. I was born on May 3rd 1993, so I would be 3 years or 93 years. The first I don't remember :D not sure I will be alive for the second one, lol. Anyway. Amazing post sweteie. <3 And YAY. This book I really want to win, hih, as I don't own it yet :) Thank you for the chance. <3
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking it should be special birthday, but don't remember doing anything in particular differently.
ReplyDeleteYou and I were in the same situation at about the same time, it's crazy. Of course, your relationship had quite the duration, so I can't "compete" with that O_O I'm glad this book worked for you just as it did for me, Pili!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Thank was madness, and it was great having you then and now to talk about it and help each other for support! *hugs*
DeleteNope. I think I might have been at a swim meet (I was 19) and I do remember it striking me as a fun day, but that was about it. And I have heard such great things about this book, thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteGolden birthday=a person's birthday when they turn the age of their birth date. Ohhhh, I never knew that. My golden birthday is 15. In general, I do not really celebrate my birthday like throw a party and such.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, happy birthday to you.Hope you have a wonderful birthday full of love and books! <3
Well, my golden birthday is 28 and I'm just turning 21 tomorrow. But thanks for the idea, I'll start to plan my golden birthday. ;) Happy birthday to YOU!
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday, Michelle, we are birthday twins btw!! =D
DeleteMy golden birthday was quite awesome, with a picnic surprise party and all!
My golden birthday was when I was one. :( But my mom let me have a big slumber party when I turned 11, and said it was kind of like my golden birthday. Lol. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! My golden birthday was 5 years ago when I turned 16, and although I was well aware of the important date, I didn't end up doing much other than eating cake. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy golden birthday is still years to come, so not yet.
ReplyDeletemy golden birthday was on my 1st birthday ! I don't remember it though ...

Not really. It was just the same as any other birthday, but still really fun! cuz cake and presents were present so..... :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about golden birthdays when mine occurred - maybe i will have to re-celebrate so i do it right! For that birthday i *think* i had a party for the last episode of the season of Dr Who with friends round for lasagne and the doctor - great fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Pili, I hope you had a really fantastic day filled with love and books <3 I've been wanting to read Art of Lainey for a long time! I love surrounding myself with food and the people I love on my birthday.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time hearing about the golden age, so I have not done anything special! But now that I know, I'll be sure to do something nice or fun! Thank you for this amazing giveaway! Happy Birthday! :)
