Hello everyone! You guys might have noticed that I haven't been active on the blog for quite some time. I always announce on twitter that i'm back and off hiatus, but I always end up neglecting the blog anyway.

I really don't have any other reason to explain my negligence and absence aside from life, in general.

All the readers that have been commenting on my posts and all the blogger friends I've been fangirling chatting with on twitter have been sorely missed and I really really hope that you guys will forgive me for neglecting my blogger duties and take me back with open arms :(

And now that I've said my piece, I've prepared a little treat for all of my readers. To compensate for my lack of activity and for thanking you guys for everything, I've created a giveaway of a book set that includes three books that i'm going to review soon on the blog, and these books are:
