In honour of Buy a Friend a Book week which is coming in the first week of April (see clicking timer to the right) I am holding a free draw for a book. I have one of two books in mind: one is fiction and one is literary auto-biography/memoir so the lucky winner will have a blind choice. "Blind" because as it is a gift I think it should be a surprise when you open it, so you can choose between the genres but you won't know the titles. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment in the section below this post. The draw is open until Saturday 5th April and the winner will be announced on the Sunday. Good Luck!

I love reading, even the back of cereal packets when a book is not handy, so would welcome either book.
Posted by: Rita Downie | March 31, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Count me in! Either would be lovely.
Posted by: Simon Thomas | March 31, 2008 at 11:18 PM
I like this! Can I play, too?
As above, either or would be OK.

Hey there! I found you because you asked such a fantastic question on deblog's contest I wanted to find out who this person was. Frankly I am happy I did, mostly because it gives me another chance for free books (being honest!) But also seems like you have a great blog here and I am subscribing no doubt (just in case you ever do another book giveaway!) Have a wonderful day!
Posted by: Megan | April 01, 2008 at 07:03 PM
That's neat-I love being surprised! I've linked to your giveaway as well, and I certainly plan on exploring your blog soon. :D (I came across it in a search for BAFAB)
