Win a Signed Copy of "Something from Tiffany's"

To celebrate the launch of Something from Tiffany’s by Melissa Hill, Hodder & Stoughton are giving away 10 signed copies! There are various terms and conditions to the giveaway including the fact that you must be eigtheen and over as well as a UK resident.

Doesn’t every girl dream of getting … something from Tiffany’s 

It’s Christmas Eve. And on 5th Avenue in New York City, two very different men are shopping for gifts for the women they love. 

Gary is buying his girlfriend Rachel a charm bracelet. Partly to thank her for paying for their holiday-of-a-lifetime to New York. But mainly because he’s left his Christmas shopping far too late. 

Whereas Ethan’s looking for something a little more special – an engagement ring for the first woman to have made him happy since he lost the love of his life. 

But when the two men’s shopping bags get confused, and Rachel somehow ends up with Ethan’s ring, the couples’ lives become intertwined. And, as Ethan tries to reunite the ring with the woman it was actually intended for, he finds it trickier than expected.

Does fate have other ideas for the couples? Or is there simply a bit of Tiffany’s magic in the air?

Something from Tiffany’s is available to buy now.

The book sounds interesting, so if you're interested in chick lit and do qualify enter by filling out this form!

Competition ends 10th December and the winners will be contacted by 15th December.

Good Luck! :)

Order a FREE Romance Novel from Mills and Boon

Mills and Boon are offering a free book to anyone over the age of 18 living in the UK for a limited time.

All you have to do is pop over to this website and order one now by signing up! Once you've done that, you are given the option of downloading an eBook or of having the paperback sent to you.

Additionally, you're given the chance to win £500! Once you've read the book you can sign back into the website and rate your "date" with Mills and Boon. Which is essentially just a review of your impression of the book and Mills and Boon overall. :)

Adorably, the first question looks like this:

I'll admit, it was a bit of a confusing sign up and I'm not exactly sure if you get to pick your book or not. The email they sent me referred to my "chosen book" but I'm not sure if I somehow chose it or if they chose it for me. Lol.

But I did somehow manage to order Surf, Sea and a Sexy Stranger by Heidi Rice which looks like it'll be entertaining. I do love taking a break from complicated plots, settings and characters sometimes to read cheesy romance novels  and Surf, Sea.. definitely sounds like it fits!

I love a free book, don't you? :)

Win a Signed first edition of 1Q84!

I don't actually own 1Q84 yet (although I want it and am envious of my sister who has the limited edition versions all three!) but if you're a Haruki Murakami fan this competition might just be the one for you! :) Bluestone Books are giving away 10 signed first editions of 1Q84!

To enter you need to send a "Top Ten List" inspired by Murakami's writing which they will then post on their website!

Additional information from the Bluestone Website is as follows:

Sample ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

• 10 jazz pieces you could actually listen to while running
• 10 writers that Murakami has not translated (but we wish he would)
• 10 film actors who would be great at playing Murakami characters
• 10 best cat names inspired by Murakami novels 

Ten winners will be selected based on creativity, and the level to which we’re jealous we didn’t think of the idea ourselves. Each winner will receive a a signed first edition of 1Q84, published by Knopf. 

(We don’t have to tell you the lengths a Murakami fan will go to for a signed book. When the galleys arrived, we were so nervous about them disappearing, we hid them where we thought no one would look: behind a 1961 etiquette guide.) 

Please note: we promise not to collect any of your customers’ e-mail addresses for our own random-ish promotional purposes. 

You can send your submissions to us at bluestone@randomhouse.com.  The deadline is November 22nd and the fine print is here.

Since I know nothing of Haruki Murakami this competition is one I'll be sitting out, but it seems like something fun for anyone who is a real fan! ^^ Good Luck! :)
