Again!


I know, I couldn't believe it either, but I won again.
Michele over at A Readers Respite had Buy A Friend A Book Week (BAFABW) a little while ago and very generously offered to buy someone a book as a giveaway. You just had to name a book you would like and leave a comment on the post as well as an invitation on Library Thing for her to be your friend, and one person would be picked at random. I didn't really think it would be me. A lovely hardback version of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows came in the post this morning. It looks like a lovely book and I have read so many good things about it. I am very excited to read it. Thank you so much Michele, and also for your blog which I love reading!

Another winner...

...me!!!

I won a book over at Book Club Girl. A lovely hardback copy of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski and a mousemat came through my door this morning. We were asked to write about our favourite pets and I told about my lovely 2 cats, Maddie and Prue who sadly died, age 16yrs old, very close together earlier this year. They have left a big hole and we loved them both very much. We hope to get some more little ones soon.

Anyway, I was one of the winners and I can't wait to read the book. A big thanks to Book club Girl, and a raised glass to Maddie and Prue!
