World Book Night 2016 - Giveaway! (giveaway now closed!)



World Book Night, an annual charity-led literacy event aimed at non-reader / occasional reader adults and teenagers, with the hope of encouraging those who don't read or can't afford books to pick something up, by giving books away for free.

Last year, I was selected as a chosen volunteer, meaning that I was allocated a box of books for free, to distribute in my area to those who may want that encouragement to pick up a book. I liked being a volunteer but had a bit of trouble getting others into the spirit of the night, but never mind! Unfortunately, this year, due to rising costs, there were less books for distribution than on previous years, and I was not selected to be a world book night volunteer.  Here at Bookshany, not being given a box of books to distribute doesn't matter!



So here's the deal!
If you would like a book from the list below, for free* [ free to UK residents, for a donation towards p&p rest of the world... Can't afford full airmail costs at this time ]
Comment with your preferred book [Main choice and a second choice in case several people ask for the same book], and an email address where you can be reached for a postal address. No junk mail will be sent to you.  If you are chosen as a winner, I will be in touch on April 14th, so that your book will be with you by World Book Night, on April 23rd.

The List [Choose one main choice, and one second choice]

Mock The Week's Only Book You'll Ever Need

    1. Last year's book was Dead Man Talking, of which I was awarded 18 copies. This year's title, had I been successful would have been Shadow and Bone. Thanks for asking!
