I don’t know about you but I buy the majority of my books on Amazon, whether they are ebooks for my Kindle or physical books. With the launch of this new blog and a love for books that I know that you share with me, I thought I’d run a giveaway for a £10 Amazon voucher so you could buy a couple of books for yourself that you’ve been wanting for some time!
I’ve always loved books and even had a book blog before this – it was a collaborative book blog but it died a death as it was only me and Sarah keeping it going at the end. I’d hate that to happen here and I have so many ideas for content so I hope you enjoy!
I’ve even got Jack on board – he will be doing the odd book review here and there – and I am hoping to host guest reviews once the site is a bit older too! Please do get in contact if you’d like to post a guest review – I’d be happy to have you!
Anyway, enough waffling. You’re here for the giveaway, right? So what do you need to do for your chance to win? Just fill in the Rafflecopter form below. The giveaway is UK only and ends at 11.59pm on the 7th of June 2020. Good luck!
I don’t knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, house of leaves always stuck with me wish I had kept it – it was a challenging read which left me so confused at times.
me too, i could not sleep without the light on for weeks afterwards, so clever, and the use of ergodic literature is amazing really adds to it! never read anything like it before , or since!

I tend to re-read Alanna the First Adventure a lot so guess that must be my fav. To be honest there are too many to choose.
My favourite book is A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
So much to choose from but I always go back to The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, so much depth and layers to unravel.
The time travellers wife by Audrey Niffenegger is my favourite book of all time. I was so disappointed by the film. The book is so layered and I read something new in it every time.
It is A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. Fabulous characters and amazing ending.
So many to choose from – and you want me to pick just one ? It would have to be a classic – Far From the Madding Crowd.

My absolute favourite read is 11.22.63 by Stephen King. It really captured me, I couldn’t put it down and still think about it years on. I need to watch the tv series on Amazon to be able to compare the world and story I created in my head from the book 🙂

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson 🙂
For me it is the Swedish crime writer Jo Nesbo. Such well crafted characters and his plots have some fantastic twists and turns.
I’ll never forget my dad reading The Hobbit to me and being petrified of the spiders! I’ve grown up to love The Lord of The Rings equally. But now I have children of my own, there has been nothing more special than taking them on the same journey there and back again that I went on with my dad.

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Lord of the Rings
I’m sorry I don’t think I could settle on just one book. There are so many which I have loved since Grandma taught me to read before I started school using Noddy books bought at a jumble sale. Childhood favourites were Famous Five and Secret Seven then as a teenager classics such as Black Beauty, Jane Eyre and Emma were amongst my favourites. In more recent times The Book Thief and Kensuke’s Kingdom stand out. One of the positives of age related self isolation has been the luxury of having time to indulge my passion for books

the BFG will always be my favourite!
I loved The girl you left behind by jojo Moyes
A street cat named Bob by James Bowen
