Bloggy Birthday Month + A Giveaway
While I was staring at my laptop last night, the browser open to this blog and my brain refusing to cough up a decent write-up for the next book on my "review" backlog, I realized something: it's my book blog's third year anniversary this month!
Last year, I didn't do anything fancy to celebrate marginalia's second birthday. This year, I'm going to host a giveaway to celebrate - just because I want to. :p
On the comments section of this post, let me know which book is your favorite read for this year, so far, and in just one sentence, why. Just one book, okay? :)
Only one winner will be picked at midnight of July 26th, Philippine time - marginalia's 3rd bloggy birthday! The winner gets to pick any book (yes, any book at all, just one!) from The Book Depository and will be notified via this blog so yes, check back here on the 26th. :) Oh, and this giveaway is open to Philippine residents only. :)
Aren't bloggy birthdays fun? :D

Happy third blogiversary! :D
That's easy: The City & The City! It was not only a book that I've read but a cerebral experience that I'm glad I had.
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey - because it is full of humanity you don't usually find in alien books. =)

Happy blogoversary!
My favorite read so far is Charles Portis' True Grit. It's a mixture of humor and nailbiting action, narrated by one of the most perfect first person narrators I've ever read.
Okay, for now, I'll settle with Sarah Addison Allen's The Sugar Queen. Because it was the first I've read this year and it's all butterflies and cakes and chocolates. :)
Happy bloggy birthday, Monique! Cheers to more years of book blogging! :)
It has to be The City and the City by China Miéville, because it's crazy genius! :)
Happy bloggy birthday, Marginalia!
Oh, not the worst read? Best, you say? Tenth of December by George Saunders. Because the stories in this collection are funny, riveting, unique, touching, and unforgettable.
Pas de bourree, pas de bourree. Joyeux anniversaire, marginalia!
Happy third birthday to your blog, Monique!
My favorite: The Sandman: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman (or the whole Sandman Saga!) because... it's Neil Gaiman.
Okay, mine is We Learn Nothing: Essays by Tim Kreider because I found the writing to be intelligent and funny and reflective and piercing...
Let's make a toast of Arbor Gold ulit? :D
My favorite read so far is Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. I love kick ass characters and the story is just so great! :)
