Get Lost in a Good Book (or 10!) - WIN £50 Amazon Voucher (CLOSED)

Submitted by tpf_kirsty on Mon, 2014-09-08 07:01

Hello again everyone!  Well we did it, we survived the summer holidays – woohoo!  Seriously, I did really enjoy having the children home for the summer, but by the end of August bickering between them was starting to set in, and the juggling required to manage working from home, running the house and the kids was getting to a level that a circus performer would struggle to keep up with!  My eldest went back to school last week (Year 4, big girl now), and my youngest starts in Reception class today – very exciting times!  How was your summer?  Are you, like me, secretly glad to have a bit of normality back, or would you happily have summer all year round? 

The children will no doubt be very tired for the next few weeks, adjusting to life back at school.  This means we can have some nice quiet after-school sessions catching up on a few movies and some good books.  I might even be able to read some of the eBooks I have stored on the iPad for myself – I download them all the time, but never seem to get chance to read them!  How about you?  Do you have a favourite reading time or spot?  Do you like to read in the bath when you get some “me time”?  Are you a bed-reader?  Would a £50 Amazon voucher help to increase your library of hard-copy books or eBooks?  I thought it would!  Well, to celebrate Agatha Christie Week (14-21 September 2014) and Roald Dahl Day (13th September 2014) here at The Prizefinder we are offering our lovely members the opportunity to win £50 of Amazon vouchers, for you to spend on whatever you like, in our exclusive competition!  You could treat yourself to a whole book-shelf of books, or several MBs of eBooks, how about some eBooks or paperbacks for the children, maybe some Christmas stories to squirrel away – the choice is yours!  All you need to do to enter is comment on this blog and let me know what your favourite book of all time is!  For me it is a tough choice – I love old historical fiction and non-fiction like Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, Little House on the Prairie etc.  But I think my go-to book has to be Pride & Prejudice – must have read it 100 times, and it still feels like a comforting blanket and a bowl of homemade stew in book-form every time I read it.  Entries close at 23:59 on Sunday 14th September 2014, and you need to be a registered member and logged into your account to enter.  So, give it some thought, and drop me a comment below – I am looking forward to reading all your great book suggestions!

Happy comping everyone, lots of Lucky Dust to you all!

So difficult to choose just one but I'll pick Wuthering Heights as it's the one book that I go back to time and time again and get totally lost in, the sort of book you need to read on a grey, rainy day while you're snuggled under a blanket, all warm & cosy in front of the fire!

I can't recommend the flowers in the attic series enough. When you read the first book you can't understand why the grandma is so evil but when you read the prequels it will all come clear...

Looking for Alibrandy. I can read this book over and over again, its by an Australian writer and the book has been made into a movie as well, which is just as good! Highly recommend it!

The one book I have gotten completely lost in was the green mile by Stephen king, always engrossed every time I read it.

The Secret Island by Enid Blyton - read it over and over until it fell apart as a child...purchased another copy as an adult!
It will always be a runaway success of a read for me!

Pride and prejudice-I can dream of a romantic era well away from present life and no idea how many times I've read it over the years!

Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo. This man has so much power with words and when I first read this at 12 in school; the way I felt reading those words is the same way I feel opening it in my twenties.

I have just read the new one by Jojo Moyes, a great summer read I could not put it down, and another one by the same author, You Before Me is a brilliant and emotional read!!

Lorna Doone was the first book i remember my nan reading to me. It was quite a grown up story for a 7 year old but she made it special by only reading it when she came to baby sit on Saturday nights. Iv still got the same book she read from so i can read it with my daughter in a few years. Good memories
