Lucky Girl in the Book Garden



When you enter giveaways, do you really expect to win? I didn't, but I won the 500 follower giveaway, graciously offered by Birgit from The Book Garden YAAY!
The next complicated step was to decide on the books to be ordered by Birgit, which was a tough task, since there are around 70 books on my wish list, but it just dawned on me that in February I am going to host my first Reading Challenge together with Bellezza (more details to be posted soon), so all the three books I chose are about or set in Venice (does that give you a clue about the Reading Challenge?:))
And remember, there's only one Venice and probably just one lucky little girl... ME :) Thank you, Birgit!

You've got me so excited about February and Venice I can't stand myself! Who knew there was so much to explore in that area? Not this Italian girl. ;) Congratulations on winning your prize, and I have another win of yours here which I'll be shipping of Saturday (tomorrow). You are indeed a lucky girl!

Ally said...

Wooow! I am so thrilled the package has arrived to you and hopefully, it will arrive to me safe and sound :) You have no idea how I have to struggle with myself in order not to start reading books right at this very moment :) I am really looking forward to the challenge, I hope the others will be as eager as us, if not... it's their loss! :)

Good luck and congratulations with all your wins, sounds like you are on a winning spree! I've added you to my blog roll as well - I thought I'd done that ages ago but seem to have overlooked it, my apologies. Blame it on a busy life :)

Ally said...

Corri ,I still marvel about this winnings :)
Well, who can blame a busy life like yours? :) Happy readings!

That is true! There is only one Venice! That sounds like a very interesting challenge. I'll be looking out for more.
