A few weeks ago I decided that I was going to run another giveaway on the blog to join in the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend celebrations which is where the fun part of shopping around began 😉 The first items that made it into the giveaway bundle were these cute Corgi chocolates I bought in Marks and Spencer and this Crown and Book charms metal bookmark that I bought from Etsy.
No sooner had I decided that I wanted to try and find some suitably themed books to include in the giveaway then I saw an announcement on Twitter of the Big Jubilee Read, a reading campaign celebrating books that have been published during the Queen's reign. Seventy books were selected, ten for each decade, written by authors from a wide range of Commonwealth countries. The full list can be found here.
Next I had to decide which book(s) to buy. As I couldn't decide, I choose 4 books from the Big Jubilee Read list and ran a poll on Twitter and the resounding winner was
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak which I have to confess I have never read! Then I saw a copy of
The Windsor Knot on my own bookshelf and decided that this would be another book that would fit perfectly into the prize package as it features the Queen as an amateur detective so I bought another copy.
