Yes,
it's true. Today marks the 2nd anniversary of this
little blog. It's been an amazing and
wonderful ride and none of it would have happened without the support of my
lovely readers.
To
thank you I am doing a Giveaway. It's my
first ever so it's going to be a bit clunky.
It isn't sponsored at all so it is a personal thank you from me.
The
prizes are all pre-loved books and the giveaway is open internationally. Shipping will be by the least cost method so
the books could take ages to get to the lucky winners – sorry about that!
For
the gift selection see the pics below. I hope everyone will find at least one
book they are interested in.
You
can enter any or all of the groups but you need to comment saying which book in
the group you have selected. You can put
the title in or just the letter and number I have assigned to it. Only one
entry per group though, please!
You
also need to give me an email address so I can notify you if you have won. Please, leave your email address in the
comment, or email it to me – my email address can be found on my contact page.
If
you win I will email you and ask for a postal address. If a postal address isn't provided within 5
days I will do a re-draw.
Important: Entries have now closed! Good luck to the participants
