Happy August 1st and Orenda book/bookmark giveaway

Looking forward to August like Luna is looking forward to nom noms in this piccy!

This coming week we are celebrating me turning 21+ (again) lol, o/h is fixing up the back garden to accomodate more people and going to see our friends. We also plan to go see our loved ones and some animals and abandoned buildings. I am on annual leave AND it is my birthday soon so lots of positives to focus on.

This month I want to do a giveaway of x1 book from the Orenda Books website. Orenda books is Karen Sullivan's baby, she has brought happiness to so many book worms. I managed to attend an Orenda Roadshow book event, fantastic evenings with access to authors, their books and you weren't even charged for the evening. She is such a lovely human and so so kind. On top of that, I have yet to find a book by them I haven't liked (I haven't yet read every book but those I have I have liked or loved).

So for this months giveaway, open worldwide, the winner can choose any one book from the list available on the Orenda book website. A runner up will get x1 of the Orenda bookmarks as in the photo. All of the Orenda books are very different so have a good look and read through the synopsis. To enter, as always, use the Rafflecopter below. Good luck!

January's Pre-loved Giveaway is Coconut Badger by Mark MacNicol

Apologies this is a tad late, essay deadline looming had to take precedence I am afraid. This months giveaway will be Coconut Badger by Mark MacNicol. My review is here http://www.alwaysreading.net/2013/10/arr-coconut-badger-by-mark-macnicol.html

The book is in immaculate condition, spine is intact and it looks as it did the day I received it.

I don't often do author interviews, however as Mark was a new author to me and from my home town I wanted to know a bit more about him. I have an author interview with him set up and will pop the Q&A on later today.
