A very bleated birthday and unusual author sweepstake winner surprise box of books.
If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.

Wow, what a great surprise the courier dropped off today - this book, along with 5 others and a lovely selection of chocolates as well. Way to make my day!
Many thanks kiwiinengland for all of these gifts :)
This one sounds interesting.

I tried with this one, I really did (several times), but the style of writing is just not for me and I couldn't finish it.

Off to xtrdnry in Australia as a wishlist tag :)
I hope you enjoy the book.
Happy reading!

This arrived in the mail for me today. I just realised this is the novel that the movie Blindness was based on. I really enjoyed the movie which I watched many years ago, so I thoroughly expect that I will enjoy the book even more.
