A Forest Walk - part 3

At the end of the afternoon I spotted a weird light!


Could it be Ancient Aliens?
I saw a lot about them on TV.


It turned out to be the setting sun though.
The trees broke up the light which gave the weird effect.
It made for some cool pictures though.

Awesome Mail Day

There will be two more posts with pictures we took on our forest walk, but I had to show you all the cool mail I got today!


First there was a book for Voodoo Bride.
I won it for her at the blog of Suzanne Johnson.

Thanks Suzanne!


Next there was mail from Danielle L. Jensen.
Stolen Songbird sounds like an awesome read, so I asked my owner to preorder it. And Danielle sent us a bookmark, a signed bookplate and a beautiful postcard with the book cover as a 'thank you' for preordering.


She even wrote a message for me at the back of the postcard.

Thanks Danielle!
I'll be putting that post card on my notice board.


And last, but certainly not least, two packages got delivered!


The first contained an uncorrected proof of Silver Mirrors by A.A. Aguirre.
I loved the first book in this series, so I'm very happy to have the chance to read Silver Mirrors early.

Thanks Ann!


The second package seems to have made the mailmen curious. They had torn it open a bit to see what was inside.


And how jealous they probably are!
It's an Advance Reader Copy of The Mark of the Tala by Jeffe Kennedy.
Jeffe also included a cover flat and cards of some of her other books.


There's something really cool about this book (apart from it being a really beautiful story of course).


Do you see it?

Thanks Jeffe.
You rock!

A Forest Walk - part 2

A Forest Walk - part 1

Yesterday it was a warm and sunny day.
We decided to go for a walk at Boswachterij Gieten to get some much needed sun and fresh air.

We took lots of pictures.

Lots of Presents

Earlier this week we received a mega package!


It was from Miki, who wanted to cheer us up when she heard we were still trying to recover from the nasty flu we caught in January. How awesome.


There were lots of surprises inside!


Look at all the goodies.
There was lots of chocolate, tea, cards and more!


I absolutely love this Game of Thrones mug.


And there were figurines of Spirou and Fantasio.
They're the lead characters of a really cool comic book series.


Miki even sent a poster book that included posters from my favorite computer game Mass Effect.

What an awesome surprise. This certainly cheered us up.

Thanks Miki!
You are amazing.




And yesterday I got a belated birthday present.


Two new hats!

Thank you J&G!
I'm very happy with these cool hats.

Spring Is In The Air

Pancakes and Gold

Today it was Pancake Day, so we had pancakes for dinner.
Yum!


There was also a package for me:


Beanie sent me a really cool gold piggy and a gold skull! Aren't they awesome?!


Thanks Beanie!
I'm very happy with the piggy and skull
