[BHE 413] Birthday Book Haul

Myra here.

I have just celebrated my birthday last month, so this is a much-belated post. As per usual, the only gift I ever require – apart from spending time with family, of course – is books. My husband is more than happy to oblige; he is, after all, my greatest enabler.
