Stacking The Shelves #22: The Birthday Edition!

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga at Tynga's Reviews.

This week was beyond awesome! I got some amazing surprises for my birthday and just some awesome books that showed up in the mail this week. I can't express my gratitude enough to anyone. Thank you for making this an amazing 18th birthday full of awesome surprises!

The one thing I asked my parents for was a birthday cake. I didn't want a celebration, I wanted a classic Carvel cake because I haven't had a birthday cake since I was 11. Well, my parents delivered and Eileen demanded a picture!

Only to have my cat eat it...

But check out the amazingness that ensued when I opened presents!
