Happy blog anniversary :) It looks like we started around the same time. I opened irisonbooks on April 1, two years ago, though I had been blogging at a different address 3 months prior to that. I never know which date to pick..

Anyway, I'll hope you'll be around for much longer :)

Oh, and could I be entered for Slouching Towards Bethlehem if the giveaway is international?

Happy Blog Anniversary! I'd pick "Leaving the Atocha Station", I loved your review of it! It sounds fascinating and I don't think I would have ever come across it if it hadn't been for your blog.

Congratulations on the blogoversary. You have such a wonderful blog here. I feel like it's somewhere I can really come for recommendations. Of course, that makes choosing a book for this giveaway pretty hard, since they all sound amazing. I guess I'd like to read The Marriage Plot. I feel like I'm the only book blogger on the planet who hasn't read it yet.
Thanks for the giveaway, and congrats again on the blogoversary.
