Giveaway: Win a bundle of Bookish Goodies

I'd been planning on running a Summer giveaway but time flew by but I finally decided to put together a bundle of goodies so when I was shopping this weekend I bought a copy of The Island Getaway by Lucy Diamond. 

The dream holiday just got complicated . . .

On the sun-drenched island of Kefalonia, the new arrivals at The Ionian Escape hotel are hoping for a break from everyday life. But some of them are bringing a lot of baggage . . .

Disgraced TV star Miranda Vallance feels like the worst person in the world. Her sister won't speak to her and her job's on the line. She's desperate to put things right, but how?

Eighty-two-year-old Evelyn Chambers has come to fulfil a promise to the love of her life. If she can steel herself to go through with it, that is . . .

And when celebrity chef Frank Neale checks in, rumours swirl around the hotel. But is it his wife, Leonora, who has more of a reason to escape to Greece?

I then had a quick delve into my box of bookish goodies to see what else I could add to the prize package. I also have an endless supply of stationery so I decided to add a few bits to the bundle as well. 

Festive Giveaway: Win a bundle of Bookish Goodies

I can't believe it's 1st December already! Personally this year has seen my reading slump continue although I'm slowly getting my reading mojo back so hoping to resume reading for reviews in the new year.

To say thank you for your continued support of the blog I have two bundles of goodies to give away so there will be two winners selected when the giveaway ends. As an element of surprise, I have wrapped up the prizes apart from the sweets. 

Bundle 1 consists of:

• Christmas fiction book
• Christmas crime fiction book
• Bookmark
• Stationery
• Keyring
• Haribo Merry Mix
• M&M Crispy Santa

Festive Giveaway: Win a bundle of bookish goodies

How is it even December already? I feel like I haven't achieved much at all this year and time has just run away from me so let's see how many of my 2023 goals I actually manage to cross off my list this month! 

It wouldn't be the festive season without a giveaway or two on the blog, the first of which is for a bundle of bookish goodies that I've wrapped (apart from the sweets) for the element of surprise. 

The only clues I'll give you is that the bundle includes: 

• 1 x tote bag
• 1 x Festive Read
• 1 x Christmas Crime 

Blogiversary Giveaway: Win a bundle of Bookish goodies

I can't believe another year has flown by as it feels like only yesterday we were celebrating last year's blogiversary but here we are on the 12th anniversary of setting up Shaz's Book Blog! 

Sadly for me nothing much has changed in the last year and it's been very hit and miss on the review front and I've read nowhere near as many books as in years gone by. But thankfully Emma has been a trooper with her fantastic reviews, especially over the Summer months when I haven't reviewed anything, so at least there has been something to share on the blog. 

Despite my reading and blogging slump I couldn't let this occasion pass by without running a giveaway or two to celebrate, the first of which is for this bundle of goodies below. 

Festive Giveaway: Win a surprise bundle of Goodies

How is it December already, where has the year gone? It's definitely been another surreal year for me as I'm still working from home full-time which has its advantages but I do miss the daily chats with my friends in the office. It's not quite the same virtually or by messaging. 

As has become the tradition I have a few festive giveaways coming up in the next couple of weeks, the first of which is for a bundle of goodies from my box of treats. In fact, there ended up being a couple of bundles so there will be 2 winners selected, each winning one of the bundles below 😍

Bundle 1

Each bundle contains:

• A Festive Book
• Bookmark(s)
• Stationery
• Sweet treats - either Percy Pig Festive Helpers or Cadburys Snow Balls Bar
• A couple of other bookish themed goodies

Easter Giveaway: Win a bundle of treats including After the Rain by Lucy Dillon

Today there will be not 1 but 2 giveaways coming up on the blog, the first which of is for this bundle of goodies which includes a copy of After the Rain by Lucy Dillon and a few extras treats.

After the storm it's time for a fresh start . . .

First, the clouds... 
Tara Hunter is a therapist on a mission to restore Longhampton's community spirit after catastrophic flooding. But with her boyfriend AWOL, her family fragmented, and only a cat for company, Tara's own life is crumbling.

Then the storm... 
On top of everything, Tara's father - last seen as he walked out on her when she was ten years old - is suddenly back, with a surprising offer that could change everything.

And after the rain... 
Dr David Dalloway is Longhampton Wellness Centre's new star counsellor. He's charming, caring and has a knack for reading people's minds - which is the last thing Tara needs right now. Will having David and her dad around make for a bigger storm on the horizon? Or is this Tara's chance for a fresh start?

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas...

It's the final day of these 12 Days of Christmas giveaways so there's just the one prize remaining. As with the previous giveaways this giveaway will run for 2 days and then the winner will be selected at random to receive the final prize.

On the First Day of Christmas...

How is it December already? The year has flown by and what a year it's been for me as I was dreading spending my 50th birthday alone during lockdown but despite this I was totally spoilt, working from home is likely to become a full-time option for me but sadly also a few health issues (nothing serious) have affected my concentration which has meant that I haven't reviewed anything on the blog for months. So thanks again to Emma for holding down the fort.   

Over the next 12 days I'm going to be sharing the book love with daily giveaways of 📚 and other book-themed prizes. Each giveaway will last two days and a winner will be selected at random and will win the prize I've allocated for that day (but it would be too easy if the order below matched with the days but as you'll also see there are more than 12 prizes so for a couple of days there will be a bookish bundle of a few of the non-book items 😉)

Blogiversary Giveaway: Win a handmade Fabric Bookmark

I have previously purchased both bookish face masks and bookmarks from AmandaAtAmpersand and always get compliments whenever I wear/use them so decided to order another bookmark from her to give away as part of the blogiversary celebrations (I might have also ordered a few other items for Christmas as well 😉). 

All of her items come beautifully packaged so I haven't opened the Pages Print bookmark for this giveaway so have included the photo that Amanda has sent me. I think you'll agree with me that it's absolutely gorgeous and will be a perfect addition to any book 😍. If you'd like to see what other designs she has, check out her Etsy store here. 

Blogiversary Giveaway: Win a Halloween themed bundle of Goodies

Although I have had this Halloween themed giveaway bundle planned for a while I couldn't decide whether to run it this weekend for just a couple of days so that I could post to the winner in time for Halloween weekend, or whether to host the giveaway over the Halloween weekend which would mean that the prize wouldn't arrive until early November. So yesterday I ran a poll on Twitter to see what people thought and it was a close run thing but the end result was to run the giveaway today. 

Regulars who follow me on social media will have probably seen me post links or pictures of things that I've either bought or have added to my wishlist to buy at a later date. I'm always on the look out for small bookish items that would make great gifts for friends or potential future giveaway prizes. A couple of the items in this bundle have already been shared previously on Instagram and Twitter.
