I’ve won four books this week!
Two books arrived in the post
the other day from John Dougherty. I’d entered a book title competition on the AwfullyBig Blog Adventure site during their Litfest 2011 and have won a signed copy of ‘Zeus
on the Loose!’ and ‘Bansi O’Hara and the Bloodline Prophecy’. They both look
like wacky reads and have joined my tbr pile.
Susanna Leonard Hill had a competition on her blog recently and I've won a signed copy of one of her picture books, ‘Can’t Sleep Without Sheep’. It
sounds like fun but I haven’t received it yet as it’s having to travel
all the way from the US.
And this morning the postman delivered a signed copy of RebeccaEmin’s book, ‘New Beginnings’. I entered a caption competition on her blog and
this is my prize. It sounds fascinating.
Here's the sales blurb: Sam Hendry is not looking forward to starting at her new school. Things go from bad to worse as the day of truth arrives and all of her fears come true... and then some. When Sam meets a different group of people who immediately accept her as a friend, she begins to feel more positive. With her new friends and interests, will Sam finally feel able to face the bully who taunts her, and to summon up the courage to perform on stage?
So when I’ve finished here I’m going to settle down with a
mug of tea and a piece of homemade fruit bread and start Rebecca’s books.
[Yes, you did read that correctly... homemade fruit bread. We have a new cooker and it’s amazing. I now know why I haven't been able to bake recently. This new cooker can be set to different temperatures unlike the old one which I now realise was cooking everything on a temperature akin to furnace level.]
Before I settle down with Rebecca’s book I’d just like to
thank everyone again for their support during our virtual Macmillan World’s
Biggest Coffee Morning. We raised £215.50 for the charity. If you missed it you
can still visit the blog post and the JustGiving page that we set up in memory
of our Mum.
That only leaves the fancy dress and coffee morning joke
awards to dish out.
The fancy dress award goes to *roll of drums*
JO for her amazingly outlandish fairy costume.
And the coffee
morning joke award goes to *another roll of drums*
Sarah Pearson for:
Doctor doctor, my right eye hurts whenever I drink coffee.
Well take the spoon out then!
