Valentine's Giveaway: Win a Romance themed bundle

Although I don't celebrate Valentine's Day personally I couldn't let the day pass by without doing a giveaway as after all we all deserve a treat or two.  

As I'm always buying bookish bits I already had the totebag, book sleeve and BookBandz in my box of goodies so just needed to buy a romance themed book and some sweets to make up the bundle. So when I saw Looking Out for Love by Sophia Money-Coutts on offer in Sainsbury's I couldn't resist buying a copy along with the Love Hearts sweets 😉   

Valentine's Giveaway: Win a Romance themed bundle

I'm not one that normally celebrates Valentine's Day, or Galentine's Day as I've seen featured in recent years, but this year I decided to do a small giveaway as we all deserve the chance to win a treat or two. 

Regular followers of the blog or who follow me on Twitter or Instagram will know that I'm always on the lookout for bookish items for potential presents or giveaway so I already had a couple of these items but then bought the rest to make up the bundle below. 

Valentine's Giveaway: Win a Purple Beads & Silver Heart Charm BookBandz

Today is International Book Giving Day and Valentine's Day so it seemed only fitting to do another giveaway to celebrate, and what better accompaniment to any book than a bookmark.  Once again Karen has come up trumps and handmade this gorgeous BookBandz for me, a purple/lilac and Silver Heart Charm Bandz 😍

Regular followers of the blog or who follow me on Twitter or Instagram will know how much I love these as I've shared photos of many of the bandz that I have bought over the years (for myself, presents for friends or giveaways) - check out Karen's photo album on her FB page here for more of her gorgeous creations. 

Valentine Giveaway: Win 3 books from the Macmillan Collector's Library

Today it's my pleasure to be shining the spotlight on the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of highly collectable, gift editions of some of the best-loved classics.  These pocket sized, hardcover books are simply gorgeous with their gilt edges and ribbon bookmark and would make the perfect birthday, Christmas, Valentine or 'just because' presents for friends or family 😍

Thanks to Mary Kate at Macmillan USA I have a fabulous giveaway of 3 books from the collection, Poems for Love, Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.

Poems for Love features an introduction by bestselling author, and Romantic Novelist Association prize-winner, Joanna Trollope.

There has always been love, and we have been writing poetry about it for over 4,000 years. A complex and truly timeless emotion, love – whether passion or heartbreak, infatuation or flirtation – has provoked some of the greatest names in literature to write verse of outstanding beauty.

From John Donne and William Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson and Christina Rossetti, the very best classic love poetry is collected in this elegant Macmillan Collector’s Library anthology. That we still read and enjoy these heartfelt poems today is a testament both to their individual genius, and to the enduring power of love.

Valentine Giveaway: Win a Heart charm BookBandz & Romance book of your choice*

As it's Valentine's Day I have decided to share my love of BookBandz by running a giveaway for this gorgeous red & silver heart charm Bandz handmade by Karen, check out her FB page here. But that's not all as I've decided that you cannot have a bookmark without a book so I'm also giving you the chance to pick a romance novel of your choice (up to the value of £6) - contemporary, romantic comedy, saga or historical - which I'll then order to be posted direct to you from either Amazon UK or The Book Depository.

Valentine's Giveaway: Win a Heart Bookbandz & copy of How Not to Fall in Love, Actually by Catherine Bennetto

I can't actually remember the last time that I celebrated Valentine's Day, or gave anyone a present, but when I received a second copy of How Not to Fall in Love, Actually by Catherine Bennetto it inspired me to do a Valentine's giveaway this year.  So as I cannot bear to see pages being turned over, or spines bent, I ordered this gorgeous heart BookBandz to go with it.

Emma has a job in television which is distinctly less glamourous and exciting than it sounds. She’s managed to claw her way up the ranks from Tea-Maker and Rubbish-Collector to 2nd Assistant Director (heavy on the ‘assistant’. Even heavier on the ‘2nd’).
