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.
