This is my birthday week so I'm giving presents! I hope there are a lot of mystery fans out there because this is for two James Patterson books, Run For Your Life and The 8th Confession. I can't wait to read these! Patterson books are always a quick read with lots of twists and turns. The perfect book to take to my hammock!
Run For Your Life also by Michael Ledwidge
A calculating killer who calls himself The Teacher is taking on
The 8th Confession (The Women's Murder Club)
also by Maxine Paetro
When a preacher with a message of hope for the homeless is found brutally executed, reporter Cindy Thomas knows the story could be huge. Probing deeper into the victim's history, she discovers he may not have been as saintly as everyone thought... Rich, beautiful, and powerful, Isa and Ethan Bailey were living in the spotlight as San Francisco's perfect couple--until they are found dead in their luxurious home. As the hunt for two criminals tests the skills of the entire Women's Murder Club, sparks begin to fly between Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner, Rich Conklin, making it difficult to stay focused on the case. The electrifying new chapter in the Women's Murder Club series, THE 8TH CONFESSION serves up the mile-a-minute twists that only James Patterson can deliver. (from Hatchette Books)

Happy Birthday! What a fun way to celebrate! I love James Patterson!
ReplyDeleteBirthdays in my house have to have a round two-layered birthday cake that is homemade by me. No store bought, no ice cream cakes, no cupcakes, no square or rectangle shapes...I know it's funny but it's true.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE JAMES PATTERSON'S WORK, AND HAVE BEEN COLLECTING AND READING THEM FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS. Also am a member of the JP Community.
IF THIS IS AN ENTRY TO YOUR CONTEST, COUNT ME IN.
The Greastest birthday present I have ever received in my entire life was three years ago. My Godson Moises presented me with my German Shepherd puppy, named Rico der Hunter III. He just turned three in March (my birthday is September, so he was six months old when I got him. He now weighs 98 pounds and still growing.)
ENJOY YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEK!
Regards,
Michael Phelps
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite birthday gift ever was the puppy I got for my 5th birthday. I REALLY wanted that puppy!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog design. Very similar to mine :)
No need to enter me. Just saying Happy Birthday to YOU!! A little Birdie (penguin) told me. :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite Birthday gift? I once wrote a post highlighting my life in a few paragraphs titled, "The Tree In the Middle of Nowhere".
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten all about it until a friend of mine sent a copy of my words to me and a pendent with an Oak tree with the moon in silhouette. It was perfect and so thoughtful, I had tears running down my face. The fact she remembered that story was gift enough.
Thanks for the opportunity! Indigo

Happy Birthday! I would love to win either one of these books - my favorite birthday gift was probably a set of The Bobsey Twin books that I received when I was young. We didn't have a lot of money and my mom was able to find about 15 of the books at a sale! I was so excited!

I'm so glad I found you blog and this giveaway. My mother loves Patterson so I'd love to win this for her. Since I'd like this for her the gift she would get aside from presents is giant cards the bigger the better. So big they were as tall as me when I was little. Happy Birthday and thanks for the great giveaway.

Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWe don't really make a big deal out of birthdays in my family, but the best TWO gifts I've gotten were both necklaces. One was a gold cross, and the other is a silver heart that says "My Daughter, My Joy" on the back. Both from my mother.

First of all, Happy Birthday! I hope it's a wonderful one!
ReplyDeleteAs far as birthday traditions -- when I was a kid my grandmother (who raised me) also made sure that on my birthday day I would wake up to a small present waiting on my bed. So that the first thing I saw when I woke up was a gift :-) I do that with my kids now also!

The best b-day gift I ever got was from my fiance. She gave me this amazing book called Maps of War (I think that's the title). It's this enormous book with all these detail images of maps of, well, war. It's gorgeous and I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cool giveaway.

Happy Birthday! A favorite tradition at our house is that the birthday person gets to pick out the dinner meal and dessert for their special day along with wearing a special "It's my Birthday!" necklace for the day! ~ :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, both books are on 'buy' list. My favorite tradition is make my family's birthday cakes. They get whatever kind they want. My son has been known to challenge me. One year he wanted a Tomato Soup Cake and another year he wanted a Turtle cake (with chocolate, nuts, caramel etc.)But I always find a recipe and make it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThe favorite present I ever gave someone was the 2 dozen sweetheart roses I had sent to my hubby at work. He thought it was really neat for a guy to get flowers.
Happy Birthday Wrighty, enjoy your special day : D
ReplyDeleteThe one birthday gift I like to give is a small gift bag filled with retro candy, the wax lips, ice cream cone candies, etc, with groucho glasses, a hawaiian lai, party blowers and hat. It's a party in a bag :D
Happy Birthday dear!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting to get into James Patterson so I'd totally love a chance to win these.
And I think the best birthday present I received was a $200 gift card for B&N last year from my now ex. It was a total surprise and I literally squeed when I got it. He knew how much of a book addict I am.
