Hello my lovelies!
I've been a bit busy this week with work and other stressful matters so I completely bypassed the moment when I reached 100 followers! When I started this blog I thought I'd get about 10 readers tops (and was duly ecstatic when it reached that number!) but I never thought I'd reach 100 (as of now it is 102...but at least one of those is my fiance who I begged to be my first follower just so I'd feel better about myself. He reads my blog maybe once a month if that...so not sure he counts!)
I also managed to completely forget my blog's one year birthday, so this is a double celebration, if you like!
Anyway, as a thank you in general to all you lovely people who read my inane ramblings I thought I'd offer you the chance to get something back, so to speak! It's not much because I haven't been paid yet, but I figured I could start small and work my way up to better things! So! On to the prizes!
I wanted to pick prizes I'd wear/use myself and I feel they represent my style, in a way. So up for grabs is this lovely Urban Outfitters clock pendant (so tempted to keep it for myself but I already have my fab Accessorize one PLUS a Time-Turner, and wouldn't give them up for the world!).
Also, because any giveaway of mine would be incomplete without it, I'm giving you the chance to win the MeMeMe cheek and lip tint of your choice! That means if you win you merely have to tell me whether you would prefer the Pussycat or the Poppy tint, and I will pop out and buy it for you! Both are meant to be very similar to the Benefit Benetint and Posietint, but in my (non-expert) opinion the MeMeMe ones are better and more pigmented! Regular readers will know of my obsession with cheek and lip tints, they're the one product I'd recommend to everyone so this is a fab opportunity for you to understand what I'm always on about!
Now on to the RULES (rules are VERY important):
- You must be a reader of this blog (I don't like the word follower. I'm not a cult.) GFC or Blogger is preferable!
- You must leave a comment on this post telling me what your FAVOURITE BOOK is.
This is because I love books and have run out of stuff to read and I plan on spending most of my eventual wages on books. It can be any genre you like, kids, sci-fi, historical, chicklit, autobiographical, whatever. No book recommendation, no entry.This is my only important rule, sorry!

- Erm, you should probably also leave your email address in your comment, because I'm not sure my pigeons will find you otherwise.
- This giveaway is open to UK residents only, because I am poor and cannot afford much postage at the moment. Also this reduces the chances of my little sister trying to win. I buy her enough stuff as it is.
- The giveaway will end TWO WEEKS HENCE, so on the 28th August at 11.59pm to give you all a chance to enter (if you so wish!)
I'll choose the winner at random, maybe by putting names into a hat because I don't really fancy drawing up Excel spreadsheets and so on (I am so lazy). So...without further ado...
GOOD LUCK!
I couldn't decide on just one, so I'm going to cheat a little and recommend two. They're both by the same author though, so it's sort of following the rules.
ReplyDeleteThe first book is Long Lost by Harlan Coben, and the second is called Tell No One. He writes crime fiction, but he captivates you right from the very first page. There are so many mysteries but his characters are quite humourous too, you honestly won't want to put them down! Let me know what you think if you do get around to reading them. He's my favourite author at the moment!

Yay yay yay 100 readers congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm finding it really hard to think of my FAVOURITE book at the moment - I have so many that I love (to be honest, as sad it sounds, it's probably Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...) but a couple I would definitely recommend are One Day by David Nicholls and The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. Oh, and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. They're all definitely worth a read :)

Eeee lovely giveaway Dani!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite book changes every time I read a book haha! I love the Eragon series because they're easy to read and I love Dragons. I also love the Georgia Nicolson Series. AANND right now I'm reading the Memory Keeper's Daughter which is also very good :)
oh and here's a little something for the pigeons: shabszaheer@gmail.com
I can't enter but I still want to give you some book recommendations! Ellis Island by Kate Kerrigan, it is cute. Forget by Ruth Gilligan, very sweet. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith which is so whimsy and a good read. Oh, maybe you could have a book review post every now and again to let all of us readers see what you thought! Just a suggestion. Have a fab day, Dani. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, congratulations! What a fab giveaway - I've wanted a clock pendant for approx. forever! So I'd love to be entered please :)
ReplyDeleteMy email is: dlw1210(at)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk - & now onto a book recommendation.. I won't be disqualified if I break the rules & give you more than one..?
Right: 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger. Amazing book (& hugely better than the film, so if you've seen that don't be swayed by it!)
Also, an absolute favourite of mine - 'Goodnight Mister Tom' by Michelle Magorian. Yes, it's a children's book. But it's also one of the best books I've ever read - promise. I recommend it to everyone!
Ok, I'll leave you with those two for now :)

that necklace is so pretty, my email is x.char_ms.x@hotmail.co.uk and i already follow you!
ReplyDeleteAs for my favorite book thats a more difficult question; can i cheat instead and list a few that i really really like? I have a weakness for the shopaholic series and anything by jodi picoult but flowers in the attic, wasted, girl interupted and the rites of spring also top my list :) x
Heyyy Dani!! My email is amyvictoriageorge@hotmail.co.uk ^^
ReplyDeleteMy favourite ever book of all time is 'The Green Mile', by Stephen King; It's a bit of a beast, but is to this day the most moving, touching and inspirational story i've ever read :) I am a bit of a stephen king fan-girl though!!
This is such an awesome idea!! hope you find a favourite book amongst all of ours!!! xxx
Hello! I'm happy without more jewellery in my life but I couldn't miss out on plugging my favourite bit of comfort reading - 'The Beekeeper's Apprentice' by Laurie R King. Sherlock Holmes. 1914. Feisty young female bookworm. It's utterly indulgent. Enjoy xxx
ReplyDeleteHallo! Ok, you know most of my recommendations as you have read them too, but there is one you do not know mwhahahahahaha (and not going to be unoriginal and say HP). So my recommendation is... 'Death and the Penguin' by Andrey Kurkov. It is a black comedy which is great in itself along with having a thriller theme, but what I loved most about this book was the relationship between the protaganist and his pet penguin Misha (which is what I now nickname Mia :P)
ReplyDeleteOne more, the play by Nikolai Gogol called 'The Government Inspector' is also very funny and a great satire.
The email is: the_sane_lunatic@hotmail.com
Hope you love it too if you decide to read it :) xxx <3
p.s. Loving some of the recommendations you have already got! And getting some ideas for my Waterstones dream list :)
ReplyDeleteDani you must read The Hunger Games, it's a trilogy and i'm currently reading the third one. Love it! I just lent it to Geo too :) I think it's going to be made into a film soon! xx
ReplyDeleteI love Blackberry Wine by joanne Harris, am reading it atm and really enjoying it :) My email is frills.spills[at]gmail.com :)
ReplyDeleteMaria xxx
My book recommendation is the one I have just finished reading! Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. I adore her books, I love the fact they always cover a controversial subject and they really make you think. This book was heart breaking at times. Such a good read!
