Meljean Day! (And yours, too!)

We are interrupting the fishing trip for my birthday. It’s all about me today (okay, and maybe a few other people who have also been born today)! We also share a birthday with Punky Brewster, so you know that’s special. So special that Maili made me this! (Seriously. Click on that baby and check out the details. I almost died laughing, which is just about the best way to start off a birthday.)

Thank you to everyone who has twittered or stopped by my Facebook and offered me birthday wishes and e-mails. Honestly, I’ve had “Happy Birthday” said to me more times today than in the sum total of my life. You guys are awesome.

So of course, this means a contest! In the comments, say anything. Some suggestions: What was the best bday gift you’ve ever received? What do you hope to do for your birthday this year? What do you on days that are all about you (even if it’s not your bday?)

Then mention the one book that you wish you owned, but don’t. It doesn’t have to be one I’ve written. Just the book that you’d really, really love to read right now (and that is either available for sale or pre-order) but don’t have.

Tonight at midnight, I’ll randomly choose a comment and send the winner that book (or pre-order the book for you if it hasn’t been published yet). International readers welcome. Good luck!
