~First, the first~

Here we have our long lost blogger again, coming to tell you all about today.
(Don't worry, I will not bore you with talk about my writing or book and movie reviews)

Today, on the 20th of November, I am celebrating my birthday. Again.
The year has gone by so FAST! It's November, almost December, which is just like...wow, okay.
Winter time is coming. Get the scarves and the mittens and the winter hats and jackets and the skates (though not for us here in NL, except if you want to pay for it and go on a skating rink where there are already loads of people) from the attic!
Stores are ordering their Christmas things and are decorating in wintery aesthetics. There are already lights in the trees and lights in the shops and lights on the shops and lights in the houses, and Christmas trees in the shops, and santa clauses there for the buying, while it's not even Christmas yet.

Well, you might be wondering (or not) why this post is named ''First, the first''.
It's like this.
This post is my first post made on my new computer, which is all mine.
If you didn't know yet, the computer (or I should say laptop, but habits ;P) I was on before was not mine, and this one IS indeed mine (though you will not notice the difference).
It's an Asus (I didn't even know that brand until I saw it on online stores) and is black with silver-ish, it's light and apparently has a superbattery (I have no knowledge whatsoever about computers or laptops or cellphones. I'm an uncultured potato-tomato when it comes to electronical devices) and when you start it, it says ''Asus: in search of the incredible'' in pretty silver letters (which I thought was noteworthy because I haven't heard of any laptop who actually does that).

As for my presents, I have received...

Ranger's Apprentice book 13: The Red Fox Clan! The latest Ranger's Apprentice book that has just gotten in the stores and which I really wanted to read. Mine has a different cover though.

Like this:

I also got a chocolate letter (do you say it like that in English?), a beautiful snow globe, a homemade and self-decorated wooden house that my younger brother made, drawings and birthday cards of course, a handlettering book and a homemade necklace that my younger sister made. All in all, more than I expected (I thought the computer would be it and that's done. Except for maybe things my younger siblings made themselves)

So...tonight we're eating homemade pizza (isn't there some other word for ''homemade'' because I keep using it now) and cheesecake with the tea (or earlier, maybe).

That is really actually all I had to say. It seems like all I can talk about is writing, books, movies, bladibla. I used to post more, but my ideas have disappeared into thin air.

I can't even remember what I used to talk about...

Well, voila, here you have my birthday information and I'm gone again. Library business, as usual.

~CoverLove Tag~

Elanor tagged me with this love for covers tag(CoverLove Tag, that is), thank you by the way, and I'm doing it now!

Sadly to say, I haven't got any books that are really mine. Like mine.
Only Little House on the Prairie. The rest of the books are shared.
I've got no cellphone and the camera is broken, so the pictures are gonna have to be taken off Pinterest(Sorry)
I will, though, take the precise covers we have here at home(Hope it doesn't matter. I know it's supposed to be with photographs you take yourself, but well...)
Also, it's limited edition. Usual books at home are Dutch and you know how hard it is to find book covers in Dutch on an English website? Well, 'tis hard. 



A book cover featuring a gorgeous dress:

I kinda like this dress(it also looks like it has pockets, which is always a plus). It's also one of the few book covers we have that actually has a dress on it.




A book cover with no people, just a pretty scenery:

So this is like the only book we have that is without people. (Basically. I'm exaggerating, there are more, but there are little)
There was The Holy Road by Michael Blake which was a pretty cover with wolves and twilight and stuff, but I couldn't find that cover, so it had to be this one.




A book cover that's ''well-loved'':

I love, love, LOVE this bookcover. It's technically my older sister's book, but it counts as all of ours. The book is wonderful and the bookcover is something you might call well-loved, yes.



A book cover that just makes you smile:

Again a Dutch title, but there was again not an English version of the bookcover. I loved this book as a child and read it a lot, and it just makes me smile because all the nostalgia...



A book cover that is your favourite color:

If it really had to be my favourite color, it would've been rainbow-colored, because I love ALL colors, but since there is no such thing as a rainbow-colored bookcover, I'll do The Help, because yellow was always one of my favourites.



A cover of a book with fond memories attached to it:

Sorry for the Dutch title, but the above picture is the cover of the book, and the English version had a different cover(a prettier one, actually), so it had to be this. It's called The Thief Lord in English, by the way. But this has fond memories. I remember that I read this book so many times, and I absolutely loved it. I also adored the fact that it was set in Italy.



A book you wanted solely for the cover:

I didn't want it solely for the cover, but I did want to read it solely for the cover, because it looks pretty nice.
