So, let’s go, comment away! 
The comment has to be “Happy Birhday!” So if you don’t want the book, just comment something else :p
[If you already have the book and don't need another copy, please give a chance to others 
& sorry about limiting it to Leb, but it's a bit complicated to send the book across the planet at this time]
I would also like to take this chance to give some…
BLOG FACTS & STATS!
• Let’s go back to the VERY FIRST POST I did on this blog! I called it “my tranquilizer” back then, and today I can say that this is exactly what this blog has been to me. I hope you all find your own “tranquilizers” and that next year will only be as good as the 1st one!
• 236: Is the number of posts on this blog since day 1!
• 2247: Is the number of comments you guys made on all the posts!
• 200,000+: Is the number of visits during the blog’s 1st year!
Let’s end it with Frank Sinatra singing “Happy Birthday” just for us!

N.B: Two other posts will follow today, so stay tuned if you want to get those books!
P.S: This birthday was due on February 10th, but I have been over-super-busy to prepare all this, so let’s settle for March 1st as official blog birthday!
Happy Birhday!
Although I have a signed copy of the book so don’t count me
Hi Maya,
Firstly, Happy Bday
Wishing you all the best and all the success 
Secondly, it’s not fair that only pple living in lebanon will get those 3 books!!!
I’m pretty sure those who live abroad (like myself in Sydney Australia) will be more than happy to pay for postage costs
cheers,
Simon
Happy Birthday

Haha, I already have a signed copy and I also suck at being the first at commenting, so I clearly do not win.
BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY! If this blog wasn’t so great, it wouldn’t have been so successful, so good job to you!

Avant toute chose : BON ANNIVERSAIRE à ton blog !
Je ne concourre pas pour le livre que j’ai déjà (même en étant aux Emirats, on peut se le procurer si l’on veut, en regrettant cependant qu’il ne soit pas dédicacé…) mais juste pour te dire que je reste un fidèle d’Amalgam qui me réjouit vraiment et qui fait le bonheur de mes amis auxquels je l’ai recommandé.
Je souhaite une longue et heureuse vie à ton blog et plein de bonheur pour toi.
Continue à nous amuser !
Bisous
