Celebrating 8 years of Book Blogging with a giveaway or two 😉

I'm not sure if it's just because I'm getting older but it only seems like yesterday that I was celebrating 7 years of being a book blogger but yet that time of year has come around again. This year has been a bit hit and miss reading and blogging wise for me, for a number of reasons, but the one thing that's never changed is my love of being part of the blogging and book community. There's always someone on hand to support you through the rough patches and help you celebrate the good times - not just book related but in your personal life too. I can honestly say I have made some friends for life in this online community and have been fortunate to have met many in real life now too.

As with previous years there will be a few giveaways throughout the rest of October as a way of saying thank you for your support of the blog. Normally I would buy a few things in advance, and I do have a few goodies which I'll be giving away in the next week or so, but for today's giveaway I'm going to do things a little differently.

When I was looking for bookish gifts I found some cute 'Book' Bookends so instead of buying them to be sent to me and me then having to post them onto the winner, I have decided it would be easier for me to order from Amazon once the giveaway ends and send direct to the winner but sadly that means that this will have to be restricted to UK only (don't worry there will be a few other giveaways that are open Internationally).

• Colours available: Black/Red/White/Blue/Pink/Purple
• Material: Metal
• Approx. Size: 12.5x13x14cm
• Non-skid bookends with padded bases
