Keeping it simple here...because today is my birthday, I want to give away some books. The gift of reading (and the amazing books I've had the opportunity to read) has been a treasure to me over the past 40 years (maybe less since I didn't start reading until I was three or four years old).
Unlike my book blog, I'm limiting this to US/Canada.
Good luck!

Happy birthday!!! I celebrated mine this year by buying a house! Most expensive birthday ever. :)
Happy birthday! I haven't hit 40 yet but I do think there is something so refreshing about getting older and just caring less about what others think and doing what feels right to you inside. And I extra love celebrating birthdays that end in 0.
Happy Birthday! I happily embraced turning forty! I celebrated all year.
I loved being in my 40's. When I was forty, I stopped worrying so much about 5 extra pounds or a bad hair day or was I perfect enough. I figured out that not much of that stuff matters in the long run and I became much more comfortable with myself. It's an enlightening decade. You will go easier on yourself. You'll love it. :)
Happy birthday!!!!!
I celebrated my 39th with a trip to the Biltmore Estate with my husband and mother. It was beautiful!
I celebrated the big 60 like I was 21. After a couple of wine flights on an almost empty stomach and a glass with dinner my husband had to pull over while I puked in the street. We were 5 blocks from the house.
Happy birthday!! My last birthday, my 60th, was very weird. 5 weeks before my birthday I was told I had breast cancer, underwent a mastectomy....a pretty bad month. 3 weeks after surgery, I was celebrating my birthday at Disneyland with my birthday, which was one of the best birthday parties I ever threw for myself!?
I took the week off this year and spent time with friends, reading and going to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants with my family.
Happy Birthday, Melissa! My birthday is in February so I usually celebrate by dinner with family and cozy up with the fire, pets and books with a little knitting on the side!
My 40th birthday wasn't a very happy one as my dad had passed away five days prior, so the beginning of my 40's wasn't a good one. Fast forwarding to my 50th though (six years ago), that was a great one as my husband gave me a trip to Paris on my 50th birthday!! That was the best!! Happy Birthday to you, Melissa!!
Happy Birthday!! I'm turning 35 next month and I'm celebrating by having some friends over. Everyone will be bringing a book and a bottle of wine and then exchanging with someone else!
Happy birthday! Love your site

Happy birthday!

I'm nearly double your 40 and I celebrated with an extra nap..... :)
Have a wonderful birthday! When I turned 40, I started to realize that a lot of things that mattered when I was younger didn't really matter at all.
I celebrated my birthday with family, books, and cake. Books and cake are a great combination.

Celebrated with family and cake and my daughter's dance recital.
Life is not over at forty, trust me. Happy Birthday!
I can't remember what I did for my 40th. It wasn't earth-shattering. LOL I did have a wonderful 50th birthday party hosted by my daughter and niece.
Happy Birthday! I will be 40 in a couple of years and I would love to go to Provence, France for my 40th. As I am getting older I realize that I do not want expensive gifts, I'd rather travel and see the world
I LOVE my birthday! I feel I just get better and I know you do Pretty Lady! xxx

My husband is 40 and it has been a great year for him so far!! :)
Love my 40s. It's a great time. There's not one thing I can put my finger on, but the 'can't give a damn' attitude is a perfect one. :)
I really think that it is in your 40s that you really find yourself.
Turning 40 felt like it was going to be a bit overwhelming to me, but actually it turned out to be pretty amazing.
Happy Birthday!!! i spent the day alone on my 40th, i was recovering from a kidney procedure on my 50th, so last year, my boyfriend took me to a VERY nice dinner to celebrate!
The 40th birthday was wonderful! Forty is just a number. I celebrated with family and friends.
Happy birthday! I'm still 2 years from turning 40 but I think it's when you must really become yourself because it's literally middle age!
Happy Birthday! I celebrated my birthday at work and treated it as another day :-) but I did get a couple free lunches and lots of CHOCOLATE!!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy and celebrate. We had a family celebration.
Happy birthday! I passed 40 a long time ago but in my mind, I am still only 40!
My forties were fun, fifties were better and sixties aren't bad either. As long as we keep having birthdays, we can keep having fun. Happy birthday.
I celebrated my last birthday by going out to dinner.
Hope your birthday was filled with fun, love and CAKE. :)
Happy birthday. I loved turning forty. I hope it's the same for you. My next one is 46 and it's still good.
