I don't get paid to do book reviews or recieve any free books or swag from authors/publishers, so I'm afraid I can't afford to offer amazing prizes like I want to. However, I managed to find some books on my shelf that I enjoyed but am unlikely to have time to read again. They've all been read but are still in good condition. I can't afford to ship them abroad so they are only open to those with a UK address.
But so my followers from across the pond don't feel left out, I'm also offering a book from Amazon, which is open internationally. So I have a total of four prizes to give away to FOUR lucky winners:
1) Pre-loved copy of Fever by Christine Feehan-UK and 18+ ONLY
2) Pre-loved copy of If I Stay by Gayle Forman-UK ONLY
3) Pre-loved copy of The Beach Cafe by Lucy Diamond-UK ONLY
4) A book of your choice from Amazon, up to the value of £5 ($7.82)-INTERNATIONAL
Rules and How to Enter
- You must be a blog follower to enter the giveaway.
- Please answer the following question in the comments section: 'Which of your birthdays was your favourite and why?'. Also tell me which of the four prizes you would like to win and leave an email address or blog url so I contact you if you win.
- Contest closes on Fri 27th July. I will pick my four favourite comments and announce the winners on Sat 28th. Prizes could take up to five working days to ship as I'll be away for my birthday weekend.
If I Stay.
ReplyDeleteMy 21st was my favorite, and not for the obvious reasons. My son was 6 months old, and we were headed out to a family meal. He chose this time to get scared of the dark and managed to be sick over 3 outfits before we even got the the restaurant (I was on my own driving with him so other parents can imagine how this was effecting my nerves). By the time we got there I was ready to say hi, enjoy the meal and leave them to it - though they rallied around, calmed him down (much to my annoyance because he wouldn't settle for me) and I had a great meal out. Luckily he slept on the journey back home but it showed me how much my family are there if I need them.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite was my 18th. We went to Leicester Square to see a film and then to a really posh restaurant in London. It was amazing.

On my 7th birthday my Grandmother gave me a wish. I could have anything I wanted - within reason. After much deciding I chose a pair of red patent leather Mary Janes - a la THE WIZARD OF OZ. Very impractical, but I LOVED them!!

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteMy 18th b-day is my fav! Why? Because, I was with my 3 best friends then and we were having so much fun. They prepared me a surprise and hide 18 little presents around our classroom. Presents were not much of value, but girls showed they thought about my fav things (fav chocolate, pretty pencil sharpener, home made bookmarker with my fav actor etc.)

Thanks so much! Hope you will choose me!
Great giveaway my best birthday was my 8th, I was finally considered old enough to have 2 friends (Carol and Roslyn) for a sleepover, we read Enid Blyton books til late, listened to radio Luxembourg and had a midnight feast - it was great!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win If I stay or beach cafe too.
Great giveaway :) My favourite birthday was my 8th birthday party because this was the last time I remember being genuinely excited to wake up and open presents etc. like at Christmas. Years after that I had to pick out my own presents and I knew of things such as surprise parties so my 8th was my last real childhood birthday memory and I remember being so excited that everytime some would come up to me and say 'Happy Birthday' I would reply 'you too' haha :)
ReplyDeleteOh and if by chance I'd love If I stay or the Amazon gift voucher :)
ReplyDeleteIf I Stay by Gayle Forman (Giveaway number 2)
ReplyDeleteI think my thirteenth birthday was a favourite for me. Finally, I was going to be a teenager and that day I was going to the cinema and having a sleepover. I was so excited I got up at like 6A.M. and that's a big deal considering I was never a morning person. You know I can't even remember what movie we watched... The best thing about that birthday was probably the cake though. Who doesn't love chocolate on chocolate? The sleepover was a feast of snack foods and games of truth or dare. It was the best birthday because I was so excited and the day didn't disappoint.
Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to win either giveaway number 2 or number 4.

Oops I forgot to answer the question! My best birthday was probably when I turned 18, I was thrown a surprise party and it's the most effort anyone's ever put into helping me celebrate my birthday lol ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite was my 22nd. My first one as a mum and it was super special.

ReplyDeleteFirst, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Woohoooo!! Leave me some cake, would you? ;)
My favorite birthday was when I turned 7 years old, because my mom bought me a HUGE book of fairy tales. It was HUGE! With a lot of images and for me that was the start of a life with books :)
I'm INT! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteMy best birthday was this years, my 23rd, because I spend it with all my family and I hadn't done that in a long time :)

Has to be one of my birthdays between the age of 5-9, I don't remember a specific one but they blur together and make a nice memory for me! I would spend every year in my favourite place in the world, so each was lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThe beach cafe :)

My favourite birthday has to be my 18th, Firstly I was becomming an Adult which at the time seemed great! but then my mum treated me to tickets to go and see Wicked on the west end! which I loved! It was also great because my sister had bought me a giftcard for Waterstones and they had a sale on at the time so (being the bargain hunter that I am) I managed to buy a bunch of books and still go home with money on my giftcard hehehe.
ReplyDeleteIf I did win I would love Fever by Christine Feehan :D

My 14th... My mum had a baby a couple of years ago and we had spent very little time together. I came down stairs and found this massive present i unwrapped it and it was a book case. My mum took me to a massive bookstore and bought me loads of books we went to a coffe shop and sat and read for hours. It was really fun!
ReplyDeleteI would love to read if i stay
