Now that I think about it, I do have a vague recollection of filling in a survey a few weeks ago, where a free book was promised to the first however-many-people that completed it.  I'm always entering competitions through emails I receive, and doing publisher surveys when they arise, but I never keep track of what I've entered, as I never actually expect to win anything!

Snap!  That's me to a tee.   Another mystery brown corrugated cardboard parcel arrived today - The Beach Hut by Veronical Henry, I already have a copy of this one!  I guess it's another giveaway/survey that I've entered.

I also received from Amazon Marketplace, a copy of 0.4 by Mike Lancaster

I also received two mystery corrugated parcels - one was The Beach Hut - Veronica Henry and another Paul Torday, The Girl on the Landing.  I'm glad it wasn't Salmon Fishing as I just got a copy of that from the library last night as it's our reading group choice for this month.  I also got ANOTHER copy of A Moment Like This - Anita Notaro for review from the publishers - they sent me a copy last month too...and a competition win which I'd forgotten about, a beautiful hardback recipe book, signed and dedicated by the author, Pomegranates and Roses - Ariana Bundy.  The recipes look delicious - Persian influences and probably more for Bry and I rather than the children, especially with the nut content!

Bought The Amytiville Horror Part 2 - John Jones, The Locked Ward - Dennis O'Donnell, Columbine - Dave Cullen.

Mooched The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist - Matt Baglio.

From the library where I volunteer, left over world book night books The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox - Maggie O'Farrell, Fingersmith - Sarah Waters.

Another 6 at 50p each from the WRVS at the hospital this afternoon!

Father Unknown - Lesley Pearse

The Little House - Philippa Gregory

The Devil's Hunt - Paul Doherty

The Lady and The Unicorn - Tracy Chevalier

A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini

Inconceivable - Ben Elton

 Three brand new books today one from the Library (just in) and two given to me as a gift.

• Cats and Daughters by Helen Brown (author of Cleo - loved it)
• Save Me by Lisa Scottoline
• White Wedding by Milly Johnson

Lovely jubbly.

Snap again!

The same brown corrugated envelope - guessing its another survey reward.  Shame I already have this on my TBR.
