It's a Manic Monday: It's MY Birthday Giveaway!!!

Hellooooo there guys!!

I might be a lil too happy for it being a Monday BUT it's MY birthday!! And even if I'm getting rather old already! (I can't believe I'm turning 35!!, I wish I could have got stuck at 28, I loved being 28) it's a day to celebrate and to do whatever the heck I want!

And because of that, I'm gonna be hosting a giveaway that will last the whole week here in my blog and another one in my Twitter!

As an unrepentant bookwyrm there's no better way to celebrate my birthday than with books (and of course cupcakes!!). I wish I had a bit more time to have organized a lil bit more of a celebration of my birthday, but with my regular work and all the work that is still to be done in my apartment... I just didn't have the energy!

 This year was a recovery year for me, and I think I'm fully recovered yet but I'm getting much much better and I have so many amazing things that happened to me, so I gotta count it as a win!

- I attended BEA and got the most awesome roomies ever (I love you Britt, Becs and Sarah!!), and also got to meet and hang out with other amazing bloggers that I loooove and that I cannot wait to meet again next year!! ( Cassi, Octavia, Nikki, Christina, Cristina, Melissa!!).

And of course meeting so many amazing authors and getting books signed and getting some brilliant early ARCs and well, it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

And BEA is relevant to this giveaway because what I'm giving away is a preorder or copy of one of my top 5 books from BEA that I've read so far!

And which one are those books you might ask? Here they are:

- Fall Out by Gwenda Bond

- Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman

- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

- Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

- Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

The 5 books are all 5 stars for me and I can highly recommend them all, so they lucky winner will choose one of these! The giveaway is open INTERNATIONALLY since the book will be ordered via The Book Depository!  (Obviously if the book is not released, I'll be preordering the book at TBD for you!).

I will be checking the entries, so no cheating dears, I'm in a celebratory mood but I don't like cheaters, so don't get cheeky!

Best of luck everyone! I'll have a busy day having lunch with the parentals, spending time with a friend in the afternoon and having my nephews over for dinner! Oh boy, I think I need a cupcake now!

Have a great Monday and Happy birthday to me! ;)

Lailah by Nikki Kelly: An International Giveaway!!

Hello guys!!

I still haven't started baking properly to bring back my Ink & Batter posts for Thursdays, but I'm hoping to do so soon. In the mean time, today I have a giveaway!

And what do I have for you guys today? Well, I got an extra copy of Lailah by Nikki Kelly, cause I preordered it but it didn't arrive before my trip to the US, so I bought another copy at the Fierce Reads event to get it signed. That means my unsigned preordered copy is looking for a loving house cause I really do not have the space for two copies of the same book!

So, to make it a lil more interesting, I'm also throwing in some awesome Styclar swag, since Nikki was amazing enough to give me loads of it at the event, she's an absolute sweetheart and I'm so very happy to be part of the Styclar Street Team!

If you are wondering if Lailah will be your thing, you can check my review HERE!

The giveaway is INTERNATIONAL, just remember that cheaters never prosper and I will check all entries!

Happy International Nurses Day!!

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

I know that for a lot of you today you celebrate Mother's Day, and I want to say Happy Mother's Day!

But also, today is International Nurse's Day! Nurse's Day is celebrated on Florence Nightingale's birthday, since she is considered the pioneer and mother of modern nursing!

So remember, do hug a nurse if you have one nearby and say thank you, we're always there to take care of you when you get sick, and we have more patience that you might give us credit for! ;)

HAPPY NURSES DAY, EVERYONE!!

Happy Nurses Day!

Hello everyone!

Today is May 12th, and it's a day to celebrate my day job and profession: being a nurse!

International Nurses Day is celebrated today, Florence Nightingale's birth date.

So, happy Nurses Day to all the fellow nurses out there and to all the rest, and for all the rest of you, be nice to the nurses that work hard to care for you!
