Easter Giveaway: Win a bundle of treats including The People on Platform 5 by Clare Pooley

As it's Easter I decided I couldn't let the bank holiday weekend pass without running a giveaway so I have bought a few treats for a regular follower of the blog to win. I already had the My Weekend is All Booked tote bag in my box of bookish goodies so bought the book and Percy Pig Easter party time foam gums and Milky Bar Mini Eggs chocolate bar when I went shopping yesterday 😊


I've had The People on Platform 5 by Clare Pooley on my Kindle for ages but I still haven't gotten around to reading it so I must remedy that soon.

Every day at 8:05, Iona Iverson boards the train to go to work. As a seasoned commuter, she knows there are rules that everyone should follow:

· You must have a job to go to 
· Don't consume hot food 
· Always pack for any eventuality 
· You must never speak to strangers on the train

Iona sees the same group of people each day - ones she makes assumptions about, gives nicknames to, but never ever talks to.

But then, one morning, Smart-but-Sexist-Surbiton chokes on a grape right in front of Iona. Suspiciously-Nice-New Malden steps up to help and saves his life, and this one event sparks a chain reaction.

With nothing in common but their commute, an eclectic group of people learn that their assumptions about each other don't match reality. But when Iona's life begins to fall apart, will her new friends be there when she needs them most?

  2. The train is crowded, the characters are quirky, and the story is compelling. You'll never look at a commuter train the same way again - @sn00bie
