Sure Feels Good to be 71

Yay!! I had a birthday, shout hurray! ;)

It was fabulous, except for all of the stress from school... but, leading up to it, I made sure my family knew what I wanted for my birthday. Here is the e-mail I sent to my parents and sister.

To whom it may concern:

As you know, one of the most important holidays is approaching. The day mere mortals celebrate the wonderful life of a most beloved individual. Yes, you know what that day is. It's Justin Bieber's birthday.

...and his twin's, of course--dearest Matilda ... (and her aunt Suzanne... *minor detail).

For those of you who may be uncertain as to what this mortal goddess would accept as an appropriate offering for all of her brilliance, beauty, and other... genius, never fear! For, there is a list irrevocably decreed on Goodreads, created by the beautiful mastermind herself.

This list includes the following:

-Blackbringer (by Laini Taylor)

----and if there is a way to get Sini to find that one book... that would be great...

Of course, no pressure. However, the day is in less than two days, so don't feel too relaxed.

Also... Matilda was promised a CTR ring. Don't let her down.

Regards from the lady of the day.
