As one giveaway ends it's now time for the final giveaway of 2024 which once again has been generously donated by Emma who is offering one follower the chance to win a £10 Amazon voucher to treat yourself to a book or 2 for Christmas. Emma has singlehandedly been holding the fort on the blog for most of the year as 2024, especially the last 4 or 5 months, has been a real struggle for me reading wise so I'd like to say a huge thank you for her friendship and support.
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:
It's time for the final giveaway of the year which has been very generously donated by Emma who has once again been my saviour on the blog this year with her fabulous reviews. Emma is offering one follower the chance to win a £10 Amazon voucher to treat yourself to a book or 2 for Christmas.

a Rafflecopter giveawayHow 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:
It's time for the final giveaway of 2022. As I couldn't afford to do 12 Days of Christmas due to the increased costs of postage etc, I have decided that I would use the Gift an eBook option on Amazon to offer multiple winners (will decide nearer the time how many winners I can afford to gift eBooks to - max £2 each) the chance to win an eBook of their choice from the current Amazon Kindle Deals.
Sadly it's only possible to gift eBooks to residents in the same country therefore I'm afraid this giveaway is restricted to UK residents only.
Below are some of the fantastic Christmas eBooks that are currently on offer from 99p to consider but you don't have to pick one of these, you can pick any you like from here.
All Wrapped Up by Ally Bunbury
Holly always seems to make the wrong decisions: her career in London is going nowhere, and she's ended up engaged to a man she doesn't love.
Which is why she decides that's all going to change - starting with calling off her engagement, six weeks before their Christmas Eve wedding.
Then Holly sees an ad for what could be her dream job: helping to declutter a remote country house back home in Ireland. It's her chance to avoid all talk of weddings and the trappings of her least favourite time of year.
But when Holly arrives at the beautiful but neglected Knockboden, she discovers that Serena Harpur, the glamorous owner, is planning on renting it out as a romantic honeymoon destination in a bid to avoid financial ruin.
With Serena's handsome but moody son hanging around, dead set against his mother's plan, Holly begins to wonder if she's made yet another bad decision.
Then Serena gets a phone call that looks set to change the fate of Knockboden. Will Holly realise that maybe she has found herself in exactly the right place, at the right time of year, for the first time ever?
THIS NEW YEAR, OLD SECRETS WILL HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES . . .
As midnight approaches, old friends the Wiksells and the Anderssons raise their glasses in celebration.
Across town, their teenage children host their own party, finally free to let loose.
But the next morning, seventeen-year-old Jennifer Wiksell is missing.
The hours tick by.
The police get involved.
And no one knows who to trust.
Because these two families have a lot to hide.
And some will do anything to keep the truth from getting out . . .
As one giveaway ends, another begins 😉 Today's giveaway prize has been very generously donated by Emma who has once again been my saviour on the blog this year, whilst I've been in a reading slump, with her fabulous reviews. She has very kindly offered to buy one of our blog followers a £10 Amazon UK voucher.
What books are at the top of your wishlist? 📚
Over the last couple of years I have purchased a few gorgeous handmade items from AmandaAtAmersand on Etsy for giveaway prizes so when I was planning the festive giveaways this year I decided to buy one of her latest products, a Kindle Beanie. I have one myself and it's perfect for hands-free reading - I only need to move to swipe the page on my paperwhite.
This giveaway is going to work a little differently as Amanda is going to post the Beanie direct to the winner rather than sending to me to then post onto the winner. And we're going to leave it as a surprise which design the winner will receive, will it be one of these two Beanies which she has just made.
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 😍

Each bundle contains:

You know the drill by now, it's time for the next 12 Days of Christmas giveaway for your chance to win one of the prizes below. As with the previous giveaways this giveaway will run for 2 days and then the winner will be selected at random to receive today's prize. Is today a bundle day? 😉

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 😉)
I don't know about you but I'm glad that this strangest of years is almost over, although sadly it doesn't look like that we're going to be returning to any semblance of normality any time soon, so I've decided to host a giveaway to bring someone a little festive cheer.
