LOOK! My Blog is Now Beautiful and Deserves a GIVEAWAY.

Okay, this . . . I am trying exceptionally hard not to get overexcited. But LOOK how PRETTY my blog is now! IT'S SO CUTE AND ADORABLE AND I LOVE IT AND IT'S HARD TO EVEN FUNCTION.

Oh, I'm supposed to prevent myself from getting overexcited. But basically, I am utterly in love with this new design. I know it is a little shallow - looks aren't everything, after all - but it's almost impossible to describe why something so gorgeous is so gorgeous. That means that there's only one thing I can do to celebrate. A giveaway for you, my awesome minions.

So why should you enter?

Other than your duty to do everything I say - just kidding, I haven't reached that level of awesomeness yet - it's because I have two lovely prizes for two lovely winners, and one in particular I am very excited about. I've assembled a brilliant bundle of book swag (that's it for alliteration in this post, I promise) consisting of the following:
  • One copy of the amazing Red by Alison Cherry, which everyone needs to read immediately. I've raved about it a little at the beginning of this post, but you only need three words. It. Is. Hilarious (and has the best setting ever and an awesome french fry shop but that's more than three words).
  • One make-your-own personal library kit, including a date stamper, ink pad, issue pockets and check out cards. This is a must-have for any bookworm who is a little territorial about lending their books - so basically all of them - and you can check out a bit more here
  • 5 bookmarks hand-designed and made by yours truly, so of course they are priceless.
The sad thing, and there is only one sad thing about my amazing bundle, is that it is only open to UK entrants. I'm really, really sorry, everyone else, and I know this must be super annoying, but international shipping appears to be more expensive than a solid gold peacock and I run this blog on a shoestring budget.

Never fear, though! I have a second prize, available to everyone because I can send it e-lectronically. Do you fancy a £10 Amazon Book Voucher? That's probably enough to buy Red (or any book you want) plus a bookmark, if you're smart about it.

You can enter for both prizes below, or one or the other, by telling me what you would like to enter for in the "What do you want?" box. Winners will be drawn from Random.org, as attached to Rafflecopter (I only use your email to contact you if you win), and no one person can win both prizes.

Sorry, prize-hoarding dragons.

I'd also love some feedback, because this is my first time running a giveaway. I'm not very skilled about it. Me need to know giveaways about. Me not experienced very. Me help want because me a blogging caveperson.

All I know is that you can check the Ts and Cs on the actual giveaway that I so lovingly handwrote with my specialist knowledge *cough* copied-and-pasted from a how-to guide and checked was legal *cough*.

Please enjoy and enter, my valued bookworms. It ends at midnight next Monday, so get cracking and don't forget to share the love!

  3. Loving your swag!! My daughter is the biggest bookworm I know..library joke she needs a trolley not a bag for all her books!-she's nearly 12 and I'm proud of her-lots of other kids just doing PlayStation etc-she has read every Joseph Delaney book and James Patterson she can get her hands on. Anyway your bookmarks are utterly gorgeous and she would adore them!��X

    1. Your daughter sounds exactly like me when I was that age - although I always utilised an unwilling parent, not a trolley! I've got my fingers crossed for her.

      Also, it's so nice of you to say that about the bookmarks. I'm really glad you like them. :-)

  4. As a fan of the colour red (been dyeing my hair different shades of red since I was 14) it instantly appeals, plus, as someone else said, it just POPS!' looks brilliant

    1. Awww, you have no idea how jealous this makes me - school won't let anyone dye their hair and so I must wave my dreams of being a redhead goodbye . . . but you're totally amazing just for loving red. #red4win

      Good luck!

    1. Oooh, yes - the pastels. I think you could make me happy about doing extra homework if you covered it in pastel-coloured bunting, so . . . I suppose this new design is no surprise.

      FYI, I think you have one of the best twitter handles I've ever come across.

    1. Eye catching . . . hmm . . . I'm not very co-ordinated, so hopefully I won't drop any of your precious eyes while trying to catch them.

      What did you say? OH: it's a METAPHOR? Sorry for the weirdness - although you're probably used to it by now - and I'm glad you love the design. Thanks for the feedback!

    1. Vibrant. Oooh, no-one's used the word vibrant yet, and it's a good one. I like its connotations of life and diversity.
